Yes, your Kalamazoo 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 Kalamazoo 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.

How can I use FlyNumber to enhance my craft brewery's customer service in Kalamazoo?

With FlyNumber, set up a call menu to direct callers automatically; for example, they can press 1 for your taproom hours or 2 for the events schedule. It's like having a receptionist who knows everything from your latest brews to the dates of the next Kalamazoo Craft Beer Festival.
