FAQ’s
Can I get SMS on my Athens virtual phone number?
Yes, your Athens FlyNumber can receive SMS — incoming texts are forwarded to your email for a small per-segment fee. You can also send personal, person-to-person texts to numbers outside the US — though delivery depends on the receiving carrier accepting texts from US numbers. Texting US numbers is coming soon and will run as A2P, the registered route US carriers require. Full list of SMS enabled numbers here.
Can I use my Athens 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.

Whether you’re attending a live music event downtown or setting up shop at your local cafe on Broad Street, you can stay connected via your FlyNumber using any device you prefer.

This helps in organizing communications and ensuring each branch operates smoothly without any communication overlap.
How can I use my FlyNumber for outgoing calls from Athens?

Can I set my FlyNumber so it operates differently during the North Georgia Folk Festival?
