I only had trouble creating an account, an error was showing in the app and the web page. Most probably a service was down.
Eventually I was able to create an account.
Finally, the web page could be better structured. I had to navigate all sections to know the different products. Maybe a wizard or main page explaining the services. -

Awesome phone service and technology
Date: Mar 21 2025SummarySonetel services tick all the boxes for us. I would give it 10/10. Great features, some we haven’t even explored yet, such as having the ability to transfer calls among our team and having multiple numbers from other countries.
PositiveWe’re based in New Zealand and need to port our US number from Skype (that is to be shutdown). We explored several options and were glad we settled with Sonetel. From the outset, our enquiries were responded to promptly and professionally by Vasundhara, their support engineer. We are really impressed by the service and how smooth the entire process is. Every call is recorded in our account on the web and on the app. Text is delivered via emails. Simply brilliant!!
NegativeThe IOS app has some minor issues, but I am sure their engineers will soon iron out.
