    Date: Sep 19 2023
    Summary

    It would be helpful to see some kind of banner when you login once you have no remaining funds on the account and need to reload. I didn’t figure it out until someone tried to phone me and the call didn’t connect.

    Positive

    I received a call the next business day to help troubleshoot my issue as well as email follow up which I appreciated.

    Negative

    I don’t find the website to be very intuitive.

    Fantastic Products and Services

    Date: Dec 08 2023
    Summary

    I've been using Sonetel since they came out and just a great business with great features and value.

    Perfect for any virtual presence required.

    Positive

    Sonetel is a easy to use but most importantly fantastic value for any individual or business looking to make an online presence of their business.

    You can forward calls from any country to your mobile and show either the incoming number or your "external" number so you know that this call is coming from one of your owned numbers.

    Negative

    None - I can easily say the only con is the compliance with local governments which requires paper work (but Sonetel makes this process seamless).

    Excellent Customer Service from Harsha

    Date: Nov 30 2022
    Summary

    Excellent customer service, quick, knowledgeable with follow up via email. With their free trial offer it is hard togo wrong.

    Positive

    When I called Sonetel Customer Service I did not have to wait more than a few seconds for a representative (unusual for most companies). I was helped by Harsha who was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I was interested in call forwarding and sms forwarding (not available when I subscribed in 2019) and Harsha set them up for me in a couple of minutes. I am very satisfied with Sonetel's Customer Service.

    Negative

    I have not found any cons though I have received a few spam voicemails.
