FAQ’s
Can I get SMS on my Chatham virtual phone number?
Yes, your Chatham FlyNumber comes with SMS. Incoming texts are forwarded to the email on file free of charge.

Can I use my Chatham 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.
