FAQ’s
Can I get SMS on my Salem virtual phone number?
Yes, your Salem 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 Salem 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.

Absolutely! If you've got a spooky tour company that covers multiple haunted sites or any business spread across Salem, managing all your locations can be a breeze with FlyNumber. You can handle multiple virtual numbers under the same account, making it super simple to direct calls to the right office or department based on the caller’s needs.

All these can be saved and managed in the cloud, so updating details as your promotions change is as simple as a few clicks.
As a Salem art gallery owner, how can I make sure I never miss a call from a potential buyer?
