First, we must thank our current users for their patience while we implemented this feature. Its been live for a couple of weeks now and glad to report its working well.

Currently, it's enabled for all new orders automatically, current users will need to send us an email or open a ticket requesting we enable it on their number (s).

How it Works​

It's simple, an SMS message comes in on your FlyNumber, we automatically forward the following to the email on file.

  • The FlyNumber the SMS was sent to
  • The phone number the SMS came from
  • The date and time the SMS was sent
  • The actual SMS message

You can change the email to send the SMS messages in My account > My FlyNumbers ( Click details on the FlyNumber )

You can find the SMS settings under "My Account > Settings > SMS Settings"

SMS Settings panel showing options to enable SMS forwarding, select email address (Same as system or Other), and a text field for Forward Email with a Save changes button

You can also disable the SMS to email feature or set to a different email for all the numbers on your account in My account > My details.

This comes with every SMS enabled number for free.

Look out for more neat features soon....
