FAQ’s

Can I get SMS on my Howell virtual phone number?

Yes, your Howell 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 Howell 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 a FlyNumber to support my local business in Howell, Michigan?

Absolutely! Whether you're running a cozy coffee shop near Thompson Lake or a boutique in downtown Howell, a FlyNumber can help keep you connected to your customers. You can easily forward your virtual number to any mobile or landline, allowing you to manage calls from anywhere, whether you're at the store or out at the annual Howell Melon Festival.

How can FlyNumber help a Howell business handle calls during busy seasons like the Fantasy of Lights?

FlyNumber’s cloud phone system comes in handy during Howell’s festive seasons. You can set up a call menu to help direct your customers' calls efficiently—perhaps, press 1 for store hours, 2 for order status. Plus, you can route calls based on the time of day, ensuring that no call goes unanswered, even during peak festival periods. I operate a tourism business in Howell.

Can I make outgoing calls using FlyNumber and still show my local number to clients?

Definitely, this is one of the great features of FlyNumber. You can make outgoing calls using your FlyNumber as the caller ID. This means when you call clients to confirm reservations or send out reminders, your local Howell number will be displayed, maintaining a professional, local presence.

Can I manage multiple FlyNumbers from my account for different aspects of my business in Howell?

Yes, you can. If you’re running both a restaurant and a gift shop in Howell, you can manage different FlyNumer for each aspect of your business under the same account. This can help streamline communications and make it easy to tailor your call handling for each branch of your business.

Is there a way to save voicemails and call recordings from customer interactions in Howell to help with training and quality assurance?

Absolutely! With FlyNumber, all voicemails, greetings, and call recordings can be automatically saved to the cloud. This is perfect for reviewing customer interactions for training purposes or quality assurance, ensuring your business continually improves its customer service.

If I'm hosting an art workshop at the Howell Opera House and expect calls from interested attendees, how can FlyNumber assist?

With FlyNumber, you can set up your virtual phone system to route calls based on the day and/or time to your current location. This means you can direct calls to your mobile when you’re out preparing for the event or to a colleague when you’re unavailable. This flexibility ensures you never miss out on engaging with potential attendees.
