FAQ’s

Can I get SMS on my Mobile virtual phone number?

Yes, your Mobile 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 Mobile 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.

Local info you may want to know

When buying a U.S. mobile number, consider the area code's impact on local perception. Area codes like 212 (New York) or 310 (Los Angeles) carry prestige and can influence customer opinions.

Local numbers allow businesses to appear established within a community, fostering trust. For instance, a number with a 617 area code (Boston) can resonate more with residents in Massachusetts.

Surprisingly, some customers still associate specific area codes with better service. Numbers in densely populated areas, such as 202 (Washington, D.C.), might imply quicker, more knowledgeable support.
