FAQ’s

Can I get SMS on my Detroit Lakes virtual phone number?

Yes, your Detroit Lakes FlyNumber will come with SMS capabilities. The text message will be forwarded to the email on file free of charge. Full list of SMS enabled numbers here.

Can I use my Detroit Lakes 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 a FlyNumber to expand my Detroit Lakes-based business to other areas in Minnesota?

Absolutely! A FlyNumber can help you create a local presence in multiple cities across Minnesota without needing a physical office there. Whether you're looking to grow in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or beyond, you can forward your FlyNumber to any mobile or landline, making it super easy for you to manage calls from potential clients while keeping your operations centered in Detroit Lakes.

How can I manage seasonally fluctuating call volumes with FlyNumber, especially during Detroit Lakes’ busy tourist seasons?

FlyNumber’s cloud phone system is perfect for this! You can set up call menus and route incoming calls based on the day and time, ensuring you handle high volumes efficiently during peak tourist months. Plus, you can change these settings at any time with instant updates, so you’re always prepared, whether it’s the 4th of July weekend or a quiet winter day.

Does FlyNumber offer a way to support both local and tourist customers in Detroit Lake with separate services?

Indeed, you can use our call menu feature to direct callers to the appropriate service. For instance, you could set up your FlyNumber so that callers can press 1 for local delivery services and 2 for tourist information or bookings. This way, both your local customers and visitors to Detroit Lakes can get tailored support that meets their specific needs.

Will using FlyNumber help me keep in touch with suppliers and partners outside the United States while I’m based in Detroit Lakes?

Yes, with FlyNumber, you can make outgoing calls with your virtual number displayed as the caller-ID, no matter where in the world you're calling. This is particularly useful if you're coordinating with suppliers or business partners internationally, as it maintains your local identity while facilitating global communication.

Can FlyNumber assist local Detroit Lakes festivals and events in handling large call volumes?

For sure! With the unlimited incoming minutes feature when you answer calls using VOIP, and the ability to automatically route phone calls based on the day and/or time, FlyNumber can effortlessly manage the influx of inquiries during major local events like the Detroit Lakes Festival of Birds or the WE Fest Country Music Festival. This helps you maintain excellent customer service without overwhelming your staff.

How can I ensure my Detroit Lakes fishing tour service remains reachable during both peak and off-peak seasons?

You can utilize FlyNumber’s automatic call routing and scheduling features to direct calls based on when your service is in high demand. During off-peak times, you might route calls to a mobile where you’re more available, while during busy seasons, calls can go directly to your main office or a hired reception service to ensure every potential customer gets the attention they deserve. Plus, save all voicemails, greetings, and call recordings to the cloud, so you never miss out on business opportunities, no matter the season in Detroit Lakes.
