FAQ’s

Can I get SMS on my Ridge Farm virtual phone number?

Yes, your Ridge Farm 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 Ridge Farm 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.

Can I use FlyNumber to support my Ridge Farm-based business with local phone service?

Absolutely! Whether your business catourists or local residents, FlyNumber lets you maintain a local presence with a Ridge Farm area code. Plus, you can forward your calls to any mobile or landline worldwide, so even if you're out exploring the scenic landscapes of Illinois, you won't miss important calls.

How do I handle seasonal call volumes using FlyNumber, for instance during the Ridge Farm Fall Festival?

FlyNumber is perfect for handling the ebb and flow of tourist seasons in Ridge Farm. Use our cloud-based PBX Phone System to route incoming calls based on the day and time, or set up a call menu to direct callers to the right department. That way, whether it’s peak festival season or a quiet winter month, your call management will always be on point.

Is there a way to manage multiple FlyNumbers for different parts of my Ridge Farm business?

Definitely! With FlyNumber, you can manage multiple virtual numbers on the same account. This is great for separating your personal calls from business ones or managing different departments within your Ridge Farm enterprise. It’s all managed seamlessly through our cloud-based system.

Can FlyNumber help if I want to expand my business reach beyond Ridge Farm to other parts of Illinois or even internationally?

Of course! FlyNumber allows you to make outgoing calls with your FlyNumber as the outgoing caller-ID. This feature helps you establish a local presence, even when calling customers from outside Ridge Farm or in international markets. Plus, with unlimited incoming minutes when you answer calls with VOIP, you can talk as long as you need without worrying about extra costs.

How can I ensure that my Ridge Farm cafe’s takeout orders are handled effectively through FlyTime?

Setting up a call menu through our cloud phone system can make this super easy. For example, customers can press 1 for sales or 2 for support—or in your case, press 1 to place an order or 2 for general inquiries. This way, your staff can focus more on preparing delicious meals rather than managing incoming calls.

What if I need to save and review calls for quality control in my Ridge Farm shop?

No problem! FlyNumber automatically saves voicemails, greetings, and call recordings to the cloud. Whether you're looking to improve customer service or need to review details of specific calls, everything you need is stored securely and easily accessible. This feature is particularly useful during the busy harvest season when every detail counts towards providing exceptional service.
