[asterisk-users] multiple provider for incoming

[Don Kelly]

If inbound reliability is important, you may be able to accomplish what you
want with redundant servers, multiple sip providers and toll-free numbers
that can be readily switched between the sip providers.

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.
