India
India FlyNumbers come with specific billing and usage restrictions that apply to all number types. Before ordering, it's important to understand the metered pricing model, the inbound-only limitation, and the documentation required to activate your number.
Metered Billing
All India FlyNumbers are metered, meaning there is a per-minute incoming rate each time someone calls your number. This applies regardless of how you receive the call — whether through VoIP, call forwarding, or the FlyNumber phone system.
India numbers function similarly to toll-free numbers in terms of billing. Each incoming call is charged on a per-minute basis on top of your monthly number subscription. You can monitor your usage through your call history.
Call Restrictions
| Restriction | Details |
|---|---|
| Outbound calls | India FlyNumbers cannot be used for making outbound calls |
| Calling card services | Not permitted |
| Callback services | Not permitted |
Inbound-Only Service
India FlyNumbers are strictly for receiving calls. Outbound calling is not available on any India number type. If your use case requires placing calls, you'll need to use a number from a different country.
While you cannot make outbound calls from India numbers, you can forward incoming calls to:
- Any phone number worldwide
- Your VoIP system or PBX
- The FlyNumber phone system for call routing and IVR
