Kind, quick, attentive assistance
Date: Sep 07 2026SummaryI 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.
PositiveVery helpful and provided well-experienced knowledge patiently. The assistant patiently kept in touch with me when I could not solve the problem quickly.

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 2026SummaryI 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 resolvedNegative∙ Address verification requirements for national numbers could be communicated earlier, ideally at checkout

Smooth and efficient operation
Updated: Mar 08 2026SummaryAfter 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!
PositiveThe 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.
NegativeI have no cons to report. All aspects of the product function smoothly as web and mobile apps.

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.

Their services are very reliable, and their calls are as clear as using within the country.
