    SONETEL performance & customer service

    Date: Nov 29 2022
    Summary

    Service gets an 9.25/10 from me. The status page should reflect the efforts of technicians fixing issues with the service online or the software (Apk).

    Positive

    The information provided is comprehensive, covering all possible areas of interaction with the user/customer: mobile & laptop; operation of the Apk and minor technical details of its functioning. The customer service operator is patient, knowledgeable and accessible (with time zone restrictions applied).

    Negative

    The service itself (virtual mobile) has been suffering stoppages attributed to third parties (local US providers), but the consequences for the user/customer's business are potentially disastrous. Also, the USA out going calls problem had been solved but the status page had not been updated. Hence my assumption that the issue had not been fixed, whereas in fact the problem was new: a glitch with the mobile Apk.

    Help to find abroad jobs

    Date: Oct 28 2022
    Summary

    I am having a great experience using Sonetel number for incoming calls. and hopeful to get job soon too.
    I choose my desired number which is easy to remember anyone.

    Positive

    I have recently received PR for Australia but I was skeptical to leave current job and move to Australia without any job.
    Now with Sonetel virtual number I can apply for jobs in Australia and participate in interviews. I hope it will help to get job before I move.
    I have started receiving calls as well for interviews.

    Another good thing is you can choose your own number from the list of available numbers.

    Negative

    1. Initially I had issues forwarding calls to my local number but now everything is sorted.
    2. You cannot make outgoing using this number or may be it requires a premium plan. I am not sure of that.
