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 | $7.75/mo = $0.25/day |
| Office Voice | 5 seats · ring groups path · shared number options | $38.75/mo (5 × Desk) |
| 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.
Calling rates
We Have Competitive Rates!Search by country or dial prefix — same style as LightningArrows Domains. Retail prices are 2× the live wholesale sheet (100% + another 100%). No giant scroll list — just look up what you need, then add phone service from the cart.
How rates + cart work
- Search — type a destination or prefix.
- See retail — published LightningArrows price (wholesale × 2).
- Add PayG credit or Desk Voice + PSTN from the result — same Snipcart checkout as the rest of Voice.
- e911 — required before live outside calling.
Sheet lives on the server and is rebuilt when the carrier CSV is updated. Ops: drop global_conver_*.csv into the rates source folder and run the build script. Questions? Contact LightningArrows Inc.
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
- OBi / analog ATA (OBi200 & similar) — old Google Voice boxes → SIP home & office · Working Test 100%
- 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 $7.75 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 |
