Can I use my Kankakee 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.

Yes, you can! FlyNumber allows you to route phone calls based on the day and time. This can be very handy if your business has specific operating hours, such as a morning coffee shop or a nightlife spot in Kankakee. Set your FlyNumber to route calls to your mobile during off-hours, so you never miss a call from a potential customer needing early morning catering or late-night event planning.

How can I ensure that my clients in Kankakee hear a professional greeting when they call?
