FAQ’s
Can I get SMS on my Mobile virtual phone number?
Yes, your Mobile 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 Mobile 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 FlyNumber to support my seafood business in Mobile during the busy Mardi Gras season?
Absolutely! When the Mardi Gras season hits and your seafood business starts buzzing, a FlyNumber can help you manage those extra calls efficiently. Use our cloud phone system to create a call menu; customers can press different numbers for reservations, orders, or enquiries. This will help you organize incoming calls better and ensure no customer is left hanging.
I’m a local artist in Mobile, how can I manage gallery inquiries from around the world?
With FlyNumber, you can forward incoming calls to any mobile or landline worldwide. So, if you're showcasing your art in Mobile but get interest from international collectors, you can still manage inquiries seamlessly. Also, our cloud-based PBX system allows you to set up a professional greeting and save all voicemails automatically, which means you can respond to inquiries when it's convenient for you, without missing out on potential sales.
Does FlyNumber work with local events in Mobile to route calls depending on the time of the day?
Definitely! For event coordinators managing festivals like the Mobile Azalea Trail or BayFest, FlyNumber lets you route phone calls based on the time of day to different coordinators or departments. This feature ensures that volunteers or staff receive calls during their assigned shifts, making communication during events smooth and efficient.
What if I want to expand my Mobile-based business to other states but keep my local customer base informed?
You can manage multiple FlyNumbers on the same account, which is perfect for expanding your business while keeping your local presence in Mobile. This way, you can have a local number for Mobile and additional numbers for other states. Plus, using your FlyNumber for outgoing calls shows your Mobile number as the caller-ID, maintaining that local connection.
Can FlyNumber help my Mobile tour business receive calls from international tourists?
Yes, our service is ideal for businesses like yours. You can forward your FlyNumber to any regular phone number around the globe at a low per-minute rate, or route incoming calls directly to any VoIP solution. This is particularly useful when you have international tourists trying to book tours or need information. They can reach you easily without international calling barriers, making it more likely they'll book with you.

This feature is particularly useful for tracking discussions and maintaining accurate records for each client. It also allows you to revisit client needs and ensure their inquiries are addressed thoroughly, which is key in building a professional consultancy in a closely-knit community like Mobile.
Local info you may want to know
When buying a U.S. mobile number, consider the area code's impact on local perception. Area codes like 212 (New York) or 310 (Los Angeles) carry prestige and can influence customer opinions.
Local numbers allow businesses to appear established within a community, fostering trust. For instance, a number with a 617 area code (Boston) can resonate more with residents in Massachusetts.
Surprisingly, some customers still associate specific area codes with better service. Numbers in densely populated areas, such as 202 (Washington, D.C.), might imply quicker, more knowledgeable support.
