Date: Jan 04 2025SummaryThe 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.

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. -

Can't make calls, can't receive calls, Mic issues, now can't log in
Date: Jun 12 2025SummarySo far pretty unreliable, 7 out 10 times I can't use it because there is a different problem. The user interface is extremely basic. I can't even create a contact list.
PositiveWhen it works you can receive or make an international phone call for an attractive monthly rate. the sound has been pretty acceptable when the communication become established.
NegativeFix the architecture once for all. Perhaps you can't handle the volume of customers you have. Stop receiving new customers until you fix your issues. Skype never performed this bad, it had a couple outrage that I remember that affected me but that was in 15 years of use. The user interface is extremely basic. I can't even create a contact list.
