FAQ’s

Can I get SMS on my Richmond virtual phone number?

Yes, your Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond FlyNumber?

Whether you're taking a stroll through the historic districts of Richmond or settling down in your office on EKU's campus, you can use any device to manage your FlyNumber. This includes smartphones, tablets, PCs, or SIP-enabled devices. Just connect to the internet and you’re all set to make and receive calls, keeping you connected with your local community and beyond.

Can I forward calls from my Richmond number to an out-of-state number?

Absolutely! If you're running a business that serves not only the folks in Richmond but also clients in other states, you can forward your Flynumber to any mobile or landline in the U.S., or worldwide. This feature ensures that you can manage your business calls from anywhere, without worrying about missing a call when you're out enjoying the Bluegrass.

How can I integrate a Richmond FlyNumber with my existing VoIP setup?

Integrating your FlyNumber with systems like Asterisk or FreePBX is smooth and straightforward. This is perfect for Richmond businesses looking to enhance their communication systems without overhauling their existing setups. It’s an excellent way to ensure your local business maintains its charm while incorporating modern technology.

Is there a way to use call menus for my Richmond-based business?

Yes, utilizing call menus can significantly improve your customer service experience. For example, when customers call your Richmond number, they could press 1 for store hours, 2 for directions to your shop near the Richmond Centre, or 3 for catering services. This feature helps streamline calls and improves efficiency, allowing you to focus more on delivering true Southern hospitality.

Can I save voicemails and call recordings with my Richmond FlyNumber?

Of course! All your voicemails, greetings, and call recordings are automatically saved to the cloud. This is incredibly handy for Richmond business owners who want to ensure they don’t miss out on any opportunities or important messages, especially during busy seasons like the annual Pops at the Park event.

How can I manage call routing based on the time of day for my business in Richmond?

Our service allows you to route phone calls based on the day and time to the destination of your choice. This means if you run a restaurant in downtown Richmond, you can redirect calls to a voicemail or another number when you're closed. Or, route calls to your catering service line during your specified busy hours. This flexibility helps you manage your business communications effectively around your schedule.
