FAQ’s

Can I use my Alfred 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 stay connected with Alfred State College and Alfred University events even if I'm abroad?

Absolutely! With a FlyNumber, you can forward your calls to any mobile or landline worldwide. This means you can keep up with college events, updates, and even receive calls from local businesses in Alfred, no matter where you are.

How can FlyNumber help me manage calls for my business during the Alfred International Chalk Festival?

During busy events like the Chalk Festival, managing incoming calls efficiently is crucial.

You can use FlyNumber to send calls to any VoIP solution, such as Asterisk or FreePBX, which means you can receive calls on any device, even while attending art shows. Set up a personalized voicemail or greeting that can inform callers about your current availability, or use the call forwarding feature to route calls to a temporary number while you're out showcasing your art.

Can FlyNumber assist Alfred-based craft businesses in reaching a broader audience without high costs?

Definitely! You can use FlyNumber to make outgoing calls with your Alfred number as the outgoing caller-ID, giving your business a local presence while reaching out to customers across the globe. The low per-minute rates for forwarding calls to regular phone numbers make it economically efficient to expand your reach beyond New York.

How can our community service groups in Alfred use FlyNumber to coordinate better during large local initiatives?

Community groups can manage multiple FlyNumbers on the same account, which simplifies communication during large initiatives like community clean-ups or charity events. By routing incoming calls to any SIP address or using the cloud phone system, different team members or volunteers can handle calls depending on their responsibilities, enhancing coordination and response times.
