Forwarding to another DID will/should work for us assuming they are going to be able to do that during a failure on their side. During a recent outage (I think they had some major issues at one of their switches), they were not able to send the calls to our box which was online.  

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,



You can't have multiple providers for inbound traffic. You can have multiple providers for outbound traffic though.



Thanks
David

David,

I'm not sure where you got this information, but it's not accurate.  I've had multiple inbound and outbound SIP providers for years going to a single box.  You just get a separate DID from each provider.  


Matt,

The process will depend on your provider, of course, but I know some have an option that if they are unable to reach your box, then they can auto-forward to another DID, or to a voicemail box, or to a user-defined function, etc.
