You set the criteria for failover ahead of time.  It actually does not have to go to the pstn.  You can set criteria to send the call to another sip or iax address or pstn number.  You can also set the criteria for failover, i.e. how long to try, what to do if congestion or busy is reached, etc.

Bottom posting - see below:

We have a PSTN phone number forwarding feature that allows you to set
criteria to forward your inbound calls to a traditional PSTN number.

FWIW, I use both Junction and Voipjet and find them both to be
excellent and good value.

Trying to figure this VoIP thing out:
 
I'm guessing the reason for using both Voipjet and Junction is redundancy?
 
Or I've also heard that Voipjet is for inbound and Junction is for 
inbound/DID.....
 
Is this correct?
 
I see the redundancy for outbound (if Voipjet is down, use Junction) but 
what about inbound?  If Junction goes down, there's no other way to 
route the same DID phone number to me, is there?  Or is there some sort 
of setup in Junction, that if they see the service down, they'll 
re-route to some other provider I specify?
 
Or - what is the benefit of using both providers?
 
Thanks for putting up with my lack of knowledge.

But isn't the idea to get rid of the PSTN?
Is this feature done automatically?  Or when I'd notice downtime, I'd have to log into my account on your website to forward calls?
