FAQ’s
Can I get SMS on my Antioch virtual phone number?
Yes, your Antioch 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 Antioch 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.
Can I use FlyNumber to stay connected with customers in Antioch, even if I'm traveling outside the US?
Absolutely! With FlyNumber, you can forward your virtual phone number to any mobile or landline worldwide. This means you can keep in touch with your Antioch community, attending the Taste of Summer or playing at PM&L Theatre, even while you're away. Plus, manage multiple FlyNumbers on the same account to make sure you're always reachable, no matter where you are.
How can I manage call overflow during high-demand periods, like during Antioch's Summer festivals?
You can easily handle increased call volumes by using the cloud phone system's call menu and voicemail features. For instance, when you're swamped during the Antioch Craft Fair, set up a call menu that lets callers route themselves to different departments. Plus, you can save all voicemails to the cloud, ensuring you never miss a beat—or a call.

FlyNumber's cloud PBx system is perfect for remote teams. With features like routing incoming calls to any SIP address and managing multiple FlyNumbers, your team can work from anywhere in Antioch—whether they're lakeside or in their home office. The unlimited incoming minutes when using VoIP also make long team calls cost-effective.
Can FlyNumber help me target specific times when my Antioch-based customers are most active?
Definitely! With FlyNumber, you can route phone calls based on the day and/or time. This feature is great for targeting peak business hours in Antioch, like during the morning rush at local cafes or in the evenings when people are more likely to book services or make purchases.
How can FlyNumber help if I want to promote a special event in Antioch with my business?
Utilize the FlyNumber cloud PBX system to create a custom greeting or call menu specific to your event. For example, if you're hosting a special sale or community event in Antioch, set up your phone system to offer details when customers call, press 1 for event details, press 2 for regular business inquiries. This keeps your audience engaged and informed.
Is there an option to use FlyNumber to make outgoing calls showing my Antioch business number as the caller-ID, even when I’m not in the town?
