PRI with SIP trunk backup for incoming DIDs

I am looking for a carrier that will sell me an ISDN PRI to which I can assign blocks of DIDs. However, I need to route these DIDs into my equipment using alternate means should the PRI fail (local copper facilities in my area are unreliable). Ideally calls destined for these DIDs with a downed PRI would be routed over a SIP trunk. Simple "forward to another number if the PRI goes down" will not cut it. Possible?

I had a conversation about this with XO some years back and they said they were going to offer it. I don't know if they do now. However...why?? Why wouldn't you just buy this as SIP to begin with? If it's a matter of backup, just invest the money you'd waste on a PRI into a backup IP connection. Robert Johnson wrote:

This is completely possible and something that my employer - Global Crossing - offers today. Also, to dovetail into what Carlos states - you could do the same thing over multiple SIP Trunks. Let me know if you need a contact. Adam On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 4:13 PM, Carlos Alvarez <carlos at televolve.com>wrote:
