Flyingvoice — IP phone and VoIP gateway manufacturer
Flyingvoice has built network communication terminals since 2007, with research teams in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Shenzhen and manufacturing in Shenzhen and Vietnam. Its range covers IP phones, analogue telephone adapters, 4G and 5G routers and fixed wireless access hardware. It is a manufacturer rather than a service provider, and it publishes no South African office or named local distributor.
Key facts
| Who they are | A global manufacturer of network communication terminal products, established in 2007. It designs and builds hardware; it does not sell phone service, minutes or connectivity |
| Product range | Three main categories. IP phones across the P2X, P1X and FIP1X series, plus LTE phones and SIP intercoms. POTS replacement hardware including analogue telephone adapter gateways and 4G and 5G routers, used to keep analogue phones and fax or alarm lines working once copper is withdrawn. 5G fixed wireless access and networking equipment |
| Where they operate | Research hubs in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Shenzhen, with manufacturing in Shenzhen and Vietnam |
| South African presence | None is published. The company website names no South African office and no local distributor. In practice that means you would buy Flyingvoice hardware through a local telecoms distributor or a phone-system provider who stocks it, and your warranty, support and replacement path all sit with that supplier rather than with the manufacturer. Establish who that supplier is before you commit to the hardware |
| Certifications | The company cites AT&T approval for the T5300 sub-6 5G CPE and the LM150 4G LTE router, and North American carrier and compliance certifications for the PR12. These are useful signals of build quality, but they are not South African approvals |
| ICASA | An ECS or ECNS service licence does not apply to a manufacturer. The relevant compliance is ICASA type approval per device model, and it is the question that matters most here given the absence of a published local presence — confirm type approval for the exact model quoted to you before buying |
| Pricing | Quote-based through whichever distributor or reseller supplies you. No price list is published, and hardware pricing in this category moves with import costs and exchange rates |
| Customer rating | No rating is shown. No South African Google Business Profile exists for this manufacturer, which follows from having no published local office. A rating from another market would tell a South African buyer nothing useful |

The handset is the easy part; the supply chain is not
Flyingvoice hardware turns up in South African deployments mainly through distributors and phone-system providers rather than through any direct local channel, and that shapes the questions worth asking. The products themselves are conventional for the category and the POTS replacement line has a specific and growing use: as copper is withdrawn, analogue handsets, fax lines, alarm diallers and lift phones still need somewhere to terminate, and an ATA gateway is the standard answer. The 5G fixed wireless access range serves the other end of the same problem, where a wired line is not coming. What deserves scrutiny is everything around the box. With no published South African office, your warranty, your firmware updates and your replacement unit all come from whoever sold it to you, so the reseller matters more than the brand. Ask three things before signing: is this exact model ICASA type approved, what is the warranty term and who honours it locally, and can they supply a replacement quickly if a unit fails in eighteen months. The AT&T and North American certifications say the engineering has been tested by demanding buyers, but they carry no weight with a South African regulator. Compare providers who supply, install and support the whole system in the phone system directory.
Who Flyingvoice is a fit for
- Businesses replacing analogue lines, fax or alarm circuits as copper is withdrawn
- Resellers and installers looking for IP phone and ATA gateway hardware to stock
- Sites needing 5G fixed wireless access equipment where no wired line is available

Is Flyingvoice a phone company?
No. It is a hardware manufacturer, established in 2007, building IP phones, analogue telephone adapters, routers and fixed wireless access equipment. It does not sell phone service or connectivity.
Does Flyingvoice have a South African office?
None is published. The company website names no South African office and no local distributor, so hardware reaches this market through distributors and resellers who handle warranty and support.
What is a POTS replacement gateway for?
It keeps analogue equipment working once copper lines are withdrawn. Analogue handsets, fax machines, alarm diallers and lift phones plug into an ATA gateway which carries the calls over an internet or mobile connection instead.
Does Flyingvoice hardware need ICASA approval?
Yes, ICASA type approval applies per device model, and it is the compliance question that matters for imported hardware. Confirm approval for the exact model quoted rather than for the brand.
What do the AT&T certifications mean?
They indicate the T5300 and LM150 passed a major North American carrier’s approval process, which is a reasonable signal of build quality. They are not South African approvals and carry no regulatory weight here.
Where can I buy Flyingvoice equipment in South Africa?
Through telecoms distributors and phone-system providers who stock it. Since the manufacturer publishes no local presence, ask your supplier about warranty terms, firmware updates and replacement lead times.
