Yes, your Athens 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 Athens 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.

What devices can I use to operate my FlyNumber if I'm running a business from Athens, Alabama?

Whether you're cozying up in a cafe along Market Street or setting up your office near the Athens State University campus, you can use any device to manage your FlyDepartment.

It’s as simple as being at the annual Athens Grease Festival and still being able to take a customer call on your mobile!

Can I forward my Athens FlyNumber to an existing mobile or landline?

Absolutely! If you’re often out and about in Athens, perhaps exploring the Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives or catching a game at the Athens Sportsplex, you can forward your calls to any local mobile or landline number. This flexibility lets you manage your calls without needing to be at your desk all the time.

Does FlyNumber offer a way to handle calls differently depending on what time it is in Athens?

Yes, indeed! For businesses that operate on a schedule, like those close to Athens Square, FlyNumber allows you to route calls based on the time. You can set your number to forward to your office during work hours or to your mobile during weekends at the Athens Farmers Market. This way, you won’t miss important calls whenever you are enjoying your local lifestyle.

How does the FlyNumber cloud phone system enhance my business communications in Athens?

Using the optional cloud PBX system is like having your very own communications headquarters right in the heart of Athens. You can set up a call menu that greets callers with choices, like pressing 1 for sales, which might direct them to your Athens-based shop, or 2 for support, connecting them to your service team. Plus, you can save voicemails and call recordings automatically to the cloud, ensuring you never miss important information no matter where you are in the city.

Can I manage multiple FlyNumbers from a single account if my business expands beyond Athens?

Definitely! If your business grows from its roots in Athens to other locales, managing multiple FlyNumbers on a single account is straightforward. Whether it’s handling different lines for various departments or setting up separate numbers for different locations, everything can be managed under one account for convenience.

How can using FlyNumber help maintain my local presence in Athens while reaching global clients?

With FlyNumber, you can maintain a local Athens phone number that forwards to any global location while presenting your Athens number as the caller ID.
