FAQ’s
Can I get SMS on my San Mateo virtual phone number?
Yes, your San Mateo FlyNumber can receive SMS — incoming texts are forwarded to your email for a small per-segment fee. You can also send personal, person-to-person texts to numbers outside the US — though delivery depends on the receiving carrier accepting texts from US numbers. 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 San Mateo virtual number for 2FA or other verification services?
