FAQ’s

Can I get SMS on my Galveston virtual phone number?

Yes, your Galveston 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 Galveston 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 to my business in Galveston even when I'm traveling?

Absolutely! Whether you're attending a conference in Houston or taking a well-deserved break on a beach in Mexico, your FlyNumber can forward calls to any mobile or landline. This means you can handle business calls from The Strand District or check on reservations at your seafood restaurant on the Seawall Boulevard, all without your clients ever knowing you're out of town.

How can I manage after-hours calls from my bed and breakfast guests in Galvesto?

With FlyNumber, you can set up call routing based on the time and day. So, if a guest calls after 8 PM to ask about late check-in procedures or parking during the busy Mardi Gras season, their call can automatically be redirected to an after-hours contact number or voicemail. Make sure your guests always have the assistance they need, whenever they need it.

Is it possible to use FlyNumber to support local tourism operations in Gallegston?

Definitely! You can utilize our cloud-based PBX Phone System to create a call menu for your callers—perfect for a tourist information center. Callers could press 1 for information on Galvesto's historic sites, 2 for festival dates like Dickens on The Strand, or 3 for emergency contacts. Plus, all calls can be routed to any SIP address, ensuring that your staff or volunteers handle inquiries efficiently from any location.

Can I use FlyNumber for my Galveston-based online store to reach broader markets?

Yes, you can! With a FlyNumber, you can make outgoing calls with your virtual number as the outgoing caller ID. This feature allows you to maintain your local presence, even when calling customers or suppliers outside of Galveston. Whether you’re selling Galveston-themed art or locally made jewelry, your number stays consistent and professional.

How do I handle seasonal call overflow for my restaurant during Galveston's peak tourist seasons?

You can manage multiple FlyNumbers on the same account, which is ideal for handling the increase in calls during peak seasons such as summer or the annual Galveston Island Shrimp Festival. Allocate different numbers for reservations, customer service, and catering inquiries, streamline the call management process, and never miss a beat during the busy times.

Can I save and review call interactions during the Galveston Film Festival to improve customer service?

Yes, FlyNumber allows you to save voicemails, greetings, and call recordings automatically to the cloud. This is particularly useful for reviewing team performance during high-profile events like the Galveston Film Festival or for training purposes to enhance customer interaction. Plus, you can always revisit these recordings to ensure that every caller's experience is as memorable as Galveston’s beautiful sunsets.
