    Summary

    My overall experience with Sonetel has been good. It is one of the few companies that are offering virtual numbers to developing countries.

    The process of getting a virtual number is easy with Sonetel. Yes, you are required to submit some document in order to go through verification, but the review process is done professionally.

    Negative

    So far, I have no complaints. It is easy to use, the interface is user-friendly.

    Long time Partner

    Date: Jan 21 2025
    Summary

    It is here to stay that’s clear and has stayed so, we will continue with them for sure!
    The fact that I get to have for my team global numbers that it’ll facilitate costumer service in that said country and continent it is unprecedented and give a unparalleled peace of mind to any client / costumer my company has in that location and, it comes without the insane paper trail that you’d need, long lines, documents and contracts individually you’d need country by country and A MUST residence and / or office!

    Positive

    We have used this service at a global scale for over half a decade and grew along with them and their updates and diversity in services!

    Saved us headache & wasted fees over the years.

    Negative

    Perhaps a REVOLUT and Apple Pay option but, that it’ll mean more fees on our part so, maybe not. Apple charges 30% for apps so...

    International Numbers for use with Very responsive Customer Care.

    Date: Jan 04 2025
    Summary

    The overall Sonetel phone number experience is BEST BEST BEST. I have been using Sonetel for over four years now, and there is no other better competitor who can match their service expertise. First of all, they have quite a large pool of mobile numbers you can choose from. I like choosing easy numbers that are memorable. Sonetel's large pool of numbers makes me give them a BIG tick. Their services are very reliable, and their calls are as clear as using within the country.
    Customer care and support is very key when it comes to choosing a reliable service provider. Sonetel's customer care is where I give them a tick in all the boxes.
    Sonetel customer care is very responsive, knowledgable of your problem and you are served by a real person.

    Positive

    Sonetel international mobile numbers are easy to set up, and the best part is that they forward SMS messages to your email. Most other international phone providers do not provide SMS capabilities.
    I find their customer care team very responsive in sorting the issue. They follow up with you until the issue is resolved.

    Negative

    Forwarding mobile calls to your country PSTN can be pricey.

    Perfect for international business

    Date: Jan 16 2025

Their customer support is always willing to help. Very affordable and convenient service, they also have their own web application and mobile application.

    Positive

    - Easy to access
    - Affordable
    - Convenient dashboard
    - Multiple payment models, like prepaid account
    - Customer support

    Negative

    - New features development speed
    - No way to manually add contacts or import them from other apps

    Top notch support (email)

    Date: Jan 08 2025
    Summary

    Great experience.
    Personal support is what I liked the most.
    I would recommend being more clear what documents each country requires before making a payment.

    Positive

    I contracted 1 Swiss phone line.
    After 2 days I got contacted to provide information that the local company needs to register the phone.
    Sajida was a charm, she explained what I needed to provide. She covered local numbers as well as toll-free.
    In our final email I realized I could not get the service due to missing documentation. A full refund was done.

    Negative

    The web page is very good.
    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.

    It's an excellent and dirt-cheap service that gets the job done! It's worth every penny to anyone who needs a virtual number.

    Awesome phone service and technology

    Date: Mar 21 2025
    Summary

    Sonetel 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.

    Positive

    We’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!!

    Negative

    The IOS app has some minor issues, but I am sure their engineers will soon iron out.
