### A SIP trunk binding doesn't have to be down (Not responding to keep alive options) for surecall to kick in, a PBX just needs to send one of the below SIP codes and we will unconditionally forward the call to the supplied surecall number.

Please note that it's the code that is important and not the definition in (). The ones listed are the standard definitions to give an idea what the SIP response code represents.
