The advantage I see with voip.Ms is that they have automated failover per number. At the same time you would need to address firewall needs for each site versus the cost for a pri gateway(s). Voip.Ms has a how to for sipx on their wiki now.

As of my latest understanding they won't hand you a SIP connection. Most of their sales folks may not even know what SIP is even though that is what is handling the connection to the box they put on site. All they really know it as is VoIP. So, this typically requires that you put in gateways to connect to their gateways...

It will take a bit to find an engineer who understands what you are trying to tell them but they may eventually fix it.
