Yes, your Durham FlyNumber will come with SMS capabilities. The text message will be forwarded to the email on file free of charge. Full list of SMS enabled numbers here.

Can I use my Durham virtual number for 2FA or other verification services?

This really depends on the company/service sending the SMS to the FlyNumber; it's up to them to actually send the text. We can't guarantee 2FA or short code SMS will work. Texts from regular mobile phones should work fine though.

Our service allows you to make and receive calls on any device, including your smartphone, laptop, or even a tablet, all while displaying your local Durham number.

You can access them anytime and anywhere, perfect for reviewing after a day spent at Lake Scugog or before heading out to the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.

I run a seasonal business in Port Perry, how can I manage calls efficiently during off-peak times?

This feature ensures you manage calls efficiently, routing them to additional staff during peak times or to voicemail during quieter periods.
