LightningArrows Voice — bolt-in PBX
Engage. Execute. Deploy. — now for desk phones.
LightningArrows Voice turns multiplatform SIP phones (Cisco MPP 78xx/88xx, Grandstream, Yealink, and more) into working lines on the same entry-level pricing as Basic cloud hosting:
| Plan | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Desk Voice | 1 seat · bolt-in SIP · provision path · e911 workflow | $7.50/mo ≈ $0.25/day |
| Office Voice | 5 seats · ring groups path · shared number options | $30/mo ≈ $1.00/day |
| PSTN access (add-on) | US DID + outbound via LA trunk (LA carrier wholesale) | From +$12/mo in cart |
| Pay as you go | Prepaid voice credit — no monthly minute fee | $10 / $25 / $50 one-time |
| Bare DID | US number at cost-ish while you use credit | $2/mo |
| SIP Trunk | LA-branded trunk for your own PBX / multi-site | $15/mo |
Same philosophy as cloud: transparent, usage-aligned, no hyperscale lock-in. PSTN / DID is LightningArrows outside calling — one relationship, one bill.
Why this exists
Offices and homes are full of perfectly good IP phones that died when a PBX lease ended. Softphones help — but a real handset still wins for all-day use.
LightningArrows already runs high-performance cloud. Voice is the opinionated layer on top:
- SBC-minded edge — SIP that survives home NAT
- PBX core on LightningArrows cloud
- Carrier / DID path + e911 address capture
- Bolt-in onboarding — MAC + provision URL or three SIP fields
We run the same Cisco 8851-class MPP bolt-in path customers use — SIP registered, DID, optional number forward, and wallpaper. Updated tutorials:
- Compatible Cisco phones (6800 / 7800 / 8800) — model-by-model guides
- Cisco 8851 field demo — live path (network → E2M → register → wallpaper)
- Enterprise → MPP conversion · E2M field path

What Desk Voice includes
- 1 SIP seat for one multiplatform / SIP phone
- Provision path (credentials and/or profile URL after order)
- e911 address workflow (required before live outbound)
- Hosting on LightningArrows infrastructure (same family as Basic cloud)
- Docs for Cisco MPP, Grandstream, and generic SIP
Base $7.50 is on-net (register phone ↔ LA PBX). Add PSTN access in the cart when you want real outside calling:
| Cart option | What it is | Price |
|---|---|---|
| On-net only | Seat / PBX only (default) | $0 extra |
| US DID + outbound | Public number + call cells/landlines | +$12/mo |
| US DID + 500 min | DID + bundled US outbound minutes | +$29/mo |
| Pay as you go credit | Prepaid balance for outbound (no monthly minute fee) | $10 / $25 / $50 one-time |
| Bare DID | Cheap US number (pair with credit) | $2/mo |
| SIP Trunk (standalone) | Credentials for your own PBX | $15/mo |
LightningArrows owns the customer relationship, provisioning, support, and PSTN packaging.
Still separate / quoted when needed: number porting, SMS, extra seats beyond Office, handset hardware (BYOD phone).
Who it is for
- Home offices with a spare Cisco 78xx/88xx MPP
- Ministries and small teams that want a real desk set
- Operators who already trust LightningArrows cloud
- Anyone tired of “app only” calling for long conversations
Pair with cloud
Voice is designed to sit beside Basic cloud at the same $0.25/day entry:
| Stack | Role |
|---|---|
| Cloud Basic | Sites, CRM, PBX admin UI, VPN |
| Voice Desk | The handset that actually rings |
