Don, Inbound reliability is very important. We don't use toll-free numbers, but we will look into that. I thought porting numbers - not sure about toll-free though - from one provider to the other took days (not technically, but paperwork, etc.)

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.

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.
