Call Forwarding Options
1.) A regular phone number
- Buy a virtual phone number and forward the calls to any phone number in the world
- For example: You buy a London phone number and send the calls to a USA phone number. You'd pay $2.95 a month for the number and .01 per min
- You pay a per min rate depending on where you send the calls
- We pass along the Caller-ID to your forwarding number (when available)
2.) Set the FlyNumber directly to VoIP
- Sending calls to any VoIP solution is included in the price of the virtual phone number
- (Unlimited incoming) - No per min. charge - Comes with 2 channels
- Diagnose DID number issues with live detailed logs (ie. Server responses, failed calls)
- We can send the calls to any SIP uri or host (SIP, IAX2, H323)
- Using this method is highly reliable | CLI/Caller ID is passed along
