FAQ’s

Can I get SMS on my Athens virtual phone number?

Yes, your Athens 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 Athens 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.

This feature is ideal for those days when you're away from the premises but still need to manage your customer calls efficiently, ensuring you never miss a tourist inquiry during the peak season.

Is it possible to utilize a call menu for my Athens art gallery, to manage inquiries more effectively?

Definitely! For your gallery on Water Street, using FlyNumber’s call menu can help streamline how you manage incoming calls. Set up a system where callers can press 1 for current exhibitions, 2 for private showings, and so on. It's a great way to professionalize your operations and assist callers efficiently, letting them know about all the artistic offerings right when they call.

You can add multiple FlyNumbers to the same account and configure settings individually for each location. This feature helps in providing personalized service to your tenants or guests, even if you’re managing from afar.

Can FlyNumber help me route calls based on the time of day to my Athens cafe or a personal number?

Certainly! For your bustling cafe along the Athens riverfront, you can set up your FlyNumber to route calls to different numbers depending on the time of the day. Direct day-time calls to the cafe when it’s open, and after-hours calls to a personal number to handle reservations or special events planning. This flexibility ensures you’re always offering top-notch service, even after the last slice of pie has been sold.
