Use any device or software
Any device can be used to make and receive calls with your FlyNumber.

- Mac, PC, or Linux computer
- Desktop office phone
- Any regular phone number (to receive calls)
- Any VoIP solution (e.g. Asterisk, 3CX, 3rd party VoIP)
Choose from 4 powerful ways to use your FlyNumber
1.) Use FlyNumber SIP to make and receive calls
- Make and receive calls with your Kenya number in any SIP calling app from the app stores — Zoiper, Groundwire, Linphone and more — or on a desk phone. We help you set it up.
- Incoming calls are included in the number's monthly rate, except on toll-free numbers, which are billed per minute; outgoing calls are billed per minute from your prepaid balance, with your Kenya FlyNumber as the caller ID.
- Register up to 5 devices, with voicemail built in.
- Pick your own Kenya number when ordering — search by digits or letters.
2.) Let an AI voice agent answer your Kenya calls
Switch your Kenya number's Call Handling to AI voice agent answers and a built-in agent takes the call. It answers questions from the facts you give it, takes messages and transfers callers to you.
A new agent starts in English, from the recorded greeting to its opening line and rules. When a caller speaks another language, the agent switches to it.
$0.10 per minute of AI conversation, billed per second. No monthly fee for the agent.
3.) Forward the Kenya phone calls to any standard phone number worldwide
- For a low per min rate you can forward the Kenya calls to any regular phone number in the world.
- You'll see the caller ID of the person calling your Kenya FlyNumber on the phone you're forwarding to.
- Change the forwarding number anytime via the FlyNumber panel.
- Consider our optional cloud phone system to enhance call forwarding options.
4.) Set the Kenya number directly to VoIP
- Set the Kenya number directly to a SIP/VoIP address.
- We'll send the Kenya calls to a VoIP destination for free (unlimited minutes).
- High level call logs to help diagnose/debug any issues.
- Use any 3rd party VoIP provider or your own PBX system (Asterisk, FreePBX, 3CX, etc.)
- In your FlyNumber panel this is the Forward to SIP / VoIP Address option.
Note
Switch between them any time from your FlyNumber panel. Two more settings live there: Park the Number, which stops the number ringing anywhere (callers hear busy) with no call charges, and the optional cloud phone system, $14.95 a month for voice menus, ring groups and business hours.
