Trunk providers offer trunks. Hunt groups from the provider are used on analog service.
A price gateway is how you would tie sip to a price interface (provider or pbx, essentially the same). A n analog gateway is the same (sip to analog fxs to your pbx co ports, etc.). In this case the sip interface handles the "rollover" to the port and handoff. No... sip providers don't NEED to offer huntgroups unless they are hosting the pbx app. How the pbx handles the incoming call is why they don't provide them.
