Currently services offered by both payed Voxalot and free mysipswitch are not logically complete, so one cannot build robust VoIP solution based on just one (and even two) services. Unfortunately it most likely drives many people out of VoIP...

The features you mention here though have never been considered as features for the consumer...hence the issue:
The trouble is this:
Business VoIP Service
Benefits:
-High Reliability
-Simultaneous Ringing, Hunting Groups
-Call Que
Limitations
-Can only buy DID numbers from them (pay for incoming calls to those DIDs)
-Can only use them for outgoing Calls
A good Business VoIP starter that'll let you start with a Free A la Carte acct, is
onSIP
Consumer Minded Aggregator Platform
Benefits:
-Multiple Providers of your Choice for inbound and outbound calls
-Call Routing and Smart Call dial plans to chose lowest cost routes
Limitations:
-Lack of complex Call Forward features, or issues with complex Call Forward features when they exist due to compatibility issues with third party providers
Good examples of such services are
Voxalot - Home,
SIP Switch : Use multiple VoIP providers with one SIP phone, or
www.PBXes.com
To put things bluntly: We are reaching a point where we as consumers want business class features but with a consumer level price, VoIP is probably one of those services that can actually achieve this, but we are not there yet
