Side-by-side comparison of the old order screen and the new FlyNumber detail page. The new detail page shows a single number's call handling, number information, billing, and SIP accounts.

"Time flies" (no pun intended) would be an understatement here. The first thing we need to do is give a big thank you to all our long-term users — those who stuck with us through thick and thin, who were understanding when we had bugs and patient as we rolled out core features. I (as the founder) can't convey enough the appreciation I have for you. While some may look at the relationship as simply transactional, I do not. We've helped you communicate with friends, family, and customers/clients (for the business owners) throughout the years, and we appreciate your trust in that respect. We're excited to start the next chapter — the OGs here will always have a special place in our hearts.

In the last decade-plus we've shipped plenty of updates, but if we're honest, most of them were patches stacked on top of patches — new features bolted onto a panel that was first built back when "the cloud" still sounded like a buzzword. Today is different. This is the single biggest update we've ever released, and it touches just about everything: how you choose a number, how you make and take calls, how you text, and how you see what you're actually paying for.
