    Updated: Oct 31 2022
    Summary

    Very good prices, and great support.
    I am not a techie guy, but it seems that they provide plenty of options.

    Positive

    Support is perfect. Very quick response and they answer your questions almost immediately.
    An online chat would be welcome though.

    Negative

    Not the best user friendly interface. And verification system not very clear.
    Also, even if your phone number is still being verified, it does not show on the dashboard.

    Good Effort Helpful

    Date: May 25 2022
    Summary

    Good from start to end. I have to accept their need for identity verification etc. in these times too many people are on a scam.

    Positive

    The proactive helpful attitude. The person that assisted me (Rounak) has put time and effort into getting me up and running with this system. Therefore I would recommend the person highly.

    Negative

    Nothing. All good. I can't really come up with anything I am not happy with.

    More than pleasantly surprised

    Date: Oct 12 2022
    Summary

    The last time I attempted to acquire overseas number, or a US number for when I was traveling, it was a very painful and inefficient and troublesome process (it was NOT Sonetel). Having entered the market again with a new requirement and seeking a new supplier and service I came across Sonetel and, after reviewing a number of suppliers, came back to Sonetel because their service just appeared to be so simple easy and outstanding value. The reviews are also excellent. My dealing with support was very prompt, efficient and accurate. Have no hesitation in recommending them five stars.

    Positive

    Very easy to use, intuitive interface. Very good value. I had a new number and all operational interest a few minutes.

    Negative

    There wasn't anything I didn't like. Everything was so good it's not even worth trying to find something to put into this box :-D

    Date: Jun 22 2022
    Summary

    Great customer service and at a good price point. I like the user interface and the ability to customize the product as per my needs.

    Positive

    It is easy to navigate through the portal and customize the service according to one's needs. It will be better if customers can be educated on using virtual assistant features etc.

    Negative

    If the numbers can be vetted in True caller so that it is not mentioned as spam etc then that will be perfect.

    Sonetel is an excellent service

    Date: Jan 03 2022
    Summary

    I have been using Sonetel for many years and I am satisfied by the service, the call rates and their customer service. You feel that they really care for their customers which great and highly needed in this fast moving passed world !

    Positive

    Having a Sonetel number is a great way to have either personal friends and family staying in touch with you while abroad, without them being charged international call rates. The same holds true for co-workers, business associates and customers.

    Negative

    The Sonetel app has room for improvement and especially when your mobile device uses an e-sim. Still, a great way of using an app to utilize your Sonetel number while traveling.

    Review for Service Received

    Updated: Dec 12 2022
    Summary

    There were delays in the verification process which made the verification seem a bit longer. But Vikas was very helpful and we managed to sort it out.

    Overall and looking at how issues were handled and what I am getting from the product since usage, I can the service is great.

    Positive

    - The portal is looks simple and easy to use.
    - Support Team is dedicated to assisting.
    - There are different plans to suit businesses of different sizes.

    Negative

    The Support Team is not familiar with phone numbers for different cities and surrounding areas. It causes delay in the verification process which could result in loss of income for businesses.

    Recommendation: Use google maps to verify where location per the proof of address provide is in relation to the cities.

    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.
