I use both as outbound.

Take a look at dslreports.com and the wiki also for a bunch of reviews
about various providers.

Actually I think some providers will reroute. I use Nufone for
incoming USA but I haven't specified a fallback.

I have at least 12 providers. I pay only 2 of the 12 (small) monthly

answer. Unfortunately, one of these has this feature disabled because
it "didn't always work".
