The best way to get inbound liquidity to your lightning node is to do liquidity swaps.
Basically three plebs agree to open channels to each other in a triangle.

My only Lightning “nodes” are Phoenix and Breez wallets
Phoenix has a fairly low inbound capacity (around 500K sats)
Is there a similar use for this swap from this wallet to increase how much I can send and receive?
Those aren't nodes. You'll have to run Bitcoin core and a lightning implementation on a computer. Checkout Umbrel to learn more.
That’s sort of what I was wondering. If I recall, Phoenix pitches their wallet as an “entire Lightning node on your phone”.
Umbrel is on my short list; haven’t had a chance to dig into it properly yet
#[2] interesting
This is double great because you get both inbound *and* outbound liquidity.
I also bought like 15m inbound from Deezy super cheap and combined with the liquidity swaps it's instantly turned my node into a routing node. As soon as I got a few mil sats outbound, I get payments flooding through Deezy's inbound. Had to setup autopilot to run the fees otherwise it'd be wiped out in a few hours haha.
#[2]​ is a great way to build up liquidity both inbound and outbound.
A node can also acquire inbound liquidity for modest fees at #[3]
