    Essential Tool for Running a Global Agency from India

    Date: Apr 23 2026
    Summary

    Sonetel has been a vital part of my business infrastructure. It allowed me to establish a professional presence in multiple countries instantly. It’s reliable, affordable, and perfect for founders who need to handle international outreach without a massive overhead.

    Positive

    Extremely easy to set up international phone numbers. As someone running an agency with clients in the UK and Canada, having local numbers is a game-changer for credibility. The pricing is very transparent, and the call forwarding works seamlessly without any noticeable lag.

    Negative

    I would love to see even more local number options.

    Kind, quick, attentive assistance

    Date: Sep 07 2026
    Summary

    I am pleased with the service. It was very helpful when I needed to call 800 (U.S.) number and be kept waiting online for a long time. I am still a new user and have not tried this service fully. I look forward to exploring the service more. Thank you.

    Positive

    Very helpful and provided well-experienced knowledge patiently. The assistant patiently kept in touch with me when I could not solve the problem quickly. It was helpful that the assistant gave me several options to try out. It was comforting that I could personally get to reach the assistant. Inexpensive communication tool.

    Negative

    Time difference. I could not contact or reach the assistant immediately, but we can’t do anything about this.

    It takes a while (more than a minute) for a caller to wait to finally reach other party, when I try to call. And, in my case, I have to call several times to get my line connected.

    Reliable service with responsive support

    Date: Aug 19 2026
    Summary

    I purchased a Netherlands number through Sonetel ahead of an upcoming relocation. Setup was quick and the app itself works well once numbers are active.
    I ran into two hiccups along the way. First, verification for a national (085) number required Netherlands address proof in my own name, which I did not know about until after purchase. Since I did not yet have local documentation, support processed a refund for that number without any pushback. Second, a Netherlands mobile (097) number briefly had an issue receiving incoming calls, but the support team followed up quickly, asked the right questions, and resolved it after investigation.

    Positive

    ∙ Fast signup and easy-to-use app
    ∙ Wide range of countries and number types available
    ∙ Support is responsive and genuinely follows through until issues are resolved

    Negative

    ∙ Address verification requirements for national numbers could be communicated earlier, ideally at checkout

    Smooth and efficient operation

    Updated: Mar 08 2026
    Summary

    After Skype closed, I searched for a suitable host for my Skype number. Sonetel was able to port the number to their service. It was a huge relief having access to my number again. The customer service at Sonetel is topnotch. The agents are very responsive and helpful. Technical issues, if any, are resolved within a short time. This is an exceptional company with an outstanding product. There's no need to look any further - Sonetel is the best!

    Positive

    The mobile number works efficiently through the Sonetel web app. I can receive SMS messages by email and also make calls internationally with very competitive rates per minute. Because I travel between the US and Australia a lot, my Sonetel number is a lifesaver for keeping in touch with colleagues and other important social and professional tasks.

    Negative

    I have no cons to report. All aspects of the product function smoothly as web and mobile apps.

    Positive

    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

    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

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