FAQ’s

Can I get SMS on my Salem virtual phone number?

Yes, your Salem 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 Salem 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.

Absolutely! If you've got a spooky tour company that covers multiple haunted sites or any business spread across Salem, managing all your locations can be a breeze with FlyNumber. You can handle multiple virtual numbers under the same account, making it super simple to direct calls to the right office or department based on the caller’s needs. It’s like having a supernatural ability to be everywhere at once!

Salem is famously bustling in October, and with FlyNumber, you can scale up effortlessly. Use our cloud-based PB1X system to handle incoming calls efficiently, routing them based on time or day to manage the Halloween rush like a pro. Plus, setting up a call menu (press 1 for ghost tours, 2 for witch museum tickets) can make your life easier and help callers find the information they need quickly.

Will my FlyNumber help tourists reach my Salem business even if they're calling from outside the US?

For sure! FlyNumber lets you forward your virtual Salem phone number to any mobile or landline worldwide. So whether someone's calling from across the states or across the globe, you can ensure they’ll reach your Salem witchcraft shop or historic tour without having to deal with international calling barriers.

Can I use my Salem FlyNumber to showcase local promotions or events?

Definitely! With FlyNumber, you can set up custom greetings or voicemails to inform callers of special promotions, events, or seasonal greetings (imagine a spooky message for Halloween!). All these can be saved and managed in the cloud, so updating details as your promotions change is as simple as a few clicks.

As a Salem art gallery owner, how can I make sure I never miss a call from a potential buyer?

Miss no opportunity to sell your eerie art pieces with FlyNumber. Our service ensures that every call can be routed to a destination of your choice based on the day and time, so after-hours calls can go to your mobile, or during opening hours, straight to the gallery. Plus, with unlimited incoming minutes when using VOIP, talk as long as needed to secure those art deals.

Is there a way to maintain customer service quality with high call volumes, especially during Salem’s peak tourist season?

Absolutely! With the optional cloud phone system, you can easily manage high call volumes with features like call menus that direct customers to the right department quickly (e.g., press 1 for ticketing, 2 for complaints). Also, save and analyze call recordings in the cloud to monitor and improve your team’s interactions, ensuring every witch-hunter or history buff gets top-notch service.
