Use any device or software
Any device can be used to make and receive calls with your FlyNumber.
- Any SIP or VoIP app on iOS or Android
- 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 New Zealand 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; outgoing calls are billed per minute from your prepaid balance, with your New Zealand FlyNumber as the caller ID.
- Register up to 5 devices, with voicemail built in.
- Pick your own New Zealand number when ordering — search by digits or letters.
2.) Let an AI voice agent answer your New Zealand calls
Switch your New Zealand 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.
The recorded greeting plays in English. Write the opening line and rules in English and the agent answers in English, switching to the caller's language if they speak another.
$0.10 per minute of AI conversation, billed per second. No monthly fee for the agent.
3.) Forward the New Zealand phone calls to any standard phone number worldwide
- For a low per min rate you can forward the New Zealand calls to any regular phone number in the world.
- You'll see the caller ID of the person calling your New Zealand 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 New Zealand number directly to VoIP
- Set the New Zealand number directly to a SIP/VoIP address.

- 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.
