Yes, sorry. I misunderstood...

I'm not sure if this is an official term but some providers use the word channels to describe this. EXGN has this

Gradwell do this in the UK. It's not free or particularly cheap for that matter, but they do have a reputation for reliability.

"Several incoming lines with one phone number" can mean many things, though, and "lines" have a very different meaning in VOIP than in the circuit-switched world.

A hunt group is typically set up as a single number that will ring at several stations in a consistent series. Simultaneous ring allows a call to ring at several stations, and the first to answer gets it. ACD queues allow you to have LRU (or other) distribution of incoming calls to a group of stations. The list goes on and on.

You obviously Googled for the wrong thing. I've never seen a single VoIP call server or business-grade service provider that _didn't_ have some sort of hunt group feature.
