Can I get SMS on my Folkston virtual phone number?
Yes, your Folkston 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 Folkston virtual number for 2FA or other verification services?
