Enhance your local business by setting up our cloud phone system! For instance, you could create a call menu specifically tailored for callers—"Press 1 for store hours, 2 for order status..." This is particularly handy during busy times like the Shediac Winter Carnival when call volumes might spike. Everything, including voicemails, is saved to the cloud automatically, making your customer service smoother and more responsive.

Is it possible to manage multiple FlyNumbers from a single account if I operate businesses in more than one location in Shediac?

This feature makes it simple to keep operations streamlined, no matter how many locations you're juggling.

Can I set my FlyNumber to automatically route calls to different numbers depending on the time of day, like when I'm at the Shediac Farmers Market?

Yes, you can! With the ability to route phone calls based on the day and/or time, you can direct calls to different numbers depending on your schedule. For instance, route calls to a business partner during your regular visits to the Shediac Farmers Market on Sundays. This feature ensures you're always reachable, even when you're out enjoying local produce.

If I use a FlyNumber in Shediac, can I make outgoing calls displaying my business number, even when calling from a personal device?

Absolutely! You can make outgoing calls using your FlyNumber as the caller ID, regardless of the device you're using.
