FAQ’s
Can I get SMS on my Oakland virtual phone number?
Yes, your Oakland FlyNumber can receive SMS — incoming texts are forwarded to your email for a small per-segment fee.

Texting US numbers is coming soon and will run as A2P, the registered route US carriers require. Full list of SMS enabled numbers here.
Can I use my Oakland 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.
