FAQ’s

Can I get SMS on my Albany virtual phone number?

Yes, your Albany 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 Albany 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 stay connected with my Albany-based business while I'm traveling?

Absolutely! With FlyNumber, you can forward your Albany virtual number to any mobile or landline phone worldwide. So, whether you're negotiating deals in NYC or attending a conference in California, you won't miss any important calls from back home in Albany. Plus, you can manage your settings from anywhere, making sure you're always connected to your Capital Region roots.

How can I integrate FlyNumber services with local Albany events or festivals?

FlyNumber is perfect for organizing and managing calls during local events like the Tulip Festival or the New York State Food Festival. You can use our cloud PBX system to set up a call menu, helping direct calls to the right department—say, press 1 for event timings, 2 for vendor information, or 3 for ticket booking. This way, event attendees get their queries answered efficiently, enhancing their experience and boosting your event’s success.

Would using FlyNumber help me better handle customer service for my Albany restaurant chain?

Definitely! With FlyNumber, you can route calls based on time—so, for instance, lunchtime calls could be directed to your restaurant closest to downtown Albany while off-peak calls go to a central customer service number. Plus, using the call menu feature, customers can choose different options such as reservations, daily specials, or speaking with the kitchen directly, making your service as delightful as Albany’s famous apple pie.

Is there a way to use FlyNumber to support remote work for my Albany-based team?

Yes, FlyNumber is an excellent tool for supporting remote or hybrid workplaces in Albany. Your team can use any device or software to make and receive calls with their FlyNumber, maintaining professionalism with your Albany caller-ID displayed, no matter where they are. This flexibility ensures your team stays productive whether they're working from a cafe in Lark Street or from their home in Pine Hills.

Can FlyNumber help manage multiple departments within my Albany government office?

Absolutely, FlyNumber's cloud phone system can be a game-changer for your government office. You can set up different FlyNumbers for various departments—like housing, public safety, or health—and then use the cloud PBX to route calls appropriately based on the caller’s selection. This not only streamlines communication but also ensures citizens’ concerns are addressed promptly, embodying the spirit of efficient service prevalent in Albany.

How can I ensure that voicemails from my Albany clients are handled efficiently with FlyNumber?

With FlyNumber, you can automatically save voicemails to the cloud. So, if you receive voicemails from clients when you're unable to take calls—maybe during a busy day at the New York State Capitol or when attending Albany Symphony Orchestra—you can quickly access and respond to them later. This feature helps you maintain excellent client relationships, crucial for business in a community-focused city like Albany.
