FAQ’s
Can I get SMS on my Shreveport virtual phone number?
Yes, your Shreveport 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 Shreveport 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 Shreveport-based business with local client communication?
Absolutely! You can purchase a Shreveport local virtual number from FlyNumber, helping you establish a local presence. This is great if you want to connect personally with the community, whether they're enjoying a jazz night downtown or visiting the Sci-Port Discovery Center. You can manage calls effectively during your busiest hours, perhaps routing calls to different departments or using a call menu (e.g., press 1 for bookings, 2 for inquiries).
How does the FlyNumber help if I want calls to come through my mobile when I'm out enjoying the Red River Revel or other local festivals?
Using FlyNumber, you can forward all your incoming calls to any mobile phone. This means even when you're out and about, perhaps enjoying Shreveport's vibrant festival scene, you won't miss important calls. It’s all done with low per-minute rates, so you can stay connected affordably.
I run a 24/7 diner in Shreveport, how can FlyNumber help me manage calls during both peak and off-peak hours?
FlyNumber allows you to route calls based on the time and day. You could direct late-night calls to a voicemail or to your mobile during off-peak hours when you're out restocking at Shreveport Farmers' Market. During busy times, calls can be routed directly to your staff on-site.
Will using FlyNumber allow my Shreveport café to handle calls more professionally?
Certainly! With FlyNumber’s cloud phone system, you can set up a professional call menu; callers could press 1 for reservations, 2 for today’s specials inspired by Southern cuisine, or 3 for event bookings. This system not only improves customer service but also enhances your café's efficiency, especially during busy periods like the Mardi Gras.
Can I use FlyNumber to save recordings of customer orders for my Shreveport bakery?
Yes, FlyNumber enables you to automatically save voicemails, greetings, and call recordings to the cloud. This is particularly useful for ensuring you get every detail right for custom cake orders or catering requests for local events like the Mudbug Madness Festival.
If I have multiple business locations in Shreveport, can I manage different numbers easily?
Definitely. With FlyNumber, you can manage multiple virtual numbers on the same account. This is perfect if you operate businesses in different neighborhoods, from the bustling streets of Highland to the serene lakeside of Cross Lake. You can customize settings for each number, keeping your operations smooth and integrated.
