    Summary

    Great product and service. I did not face any issue throughout my association so far and customer support team is prompt and really work to resolve any query or concern you may have.... extremely happy i used them instead of anyone else.

    Positive

    - Ease of sign-up

    Though from service point of view things have been excellent, the only thing i missed a little is that the live support is not available 24/7. Other than that everything is great.

    Easy setup, long verification time for dial-in numbers, works excellently once setup completes

    Updated: Oct 06 2022
    Summary

    Overall I am happy with the use of the Sonetel solution for my very small company. I can have customers calling me in their own geos for a price I can afford. Give it a try!

    Positive

    It's very easy to sign in, create teams and configure calls the way you want. Cross team functionality is easy, the mobile application is user-friendly. Once the configuration is complete, incoming calls are routed properly to the team members according to the defined rules.

    Negative

    Getting a dial-in number verified can take time (plan for a few days) depending on your country verification requirements, but the Sonetel Support Team was really responsive & helpful. The administration of the company cannot happen in the mobile app, it sends you to a web browser page. Nothing major, nor super annoying, I can live with it.

    Nice dashboard, easy to setup service

    Date: Nov 22 2022
    Summary

    Fast, reliable, simple service with fair price and nice support. Overall, my experience with it has been very positive!

    Positive

    The service is very quick to setup thanks to a simple, minimalistic dashboard. It took less than a week between signing the service and having a working number on my mobile. The chat feature on the website was super easy to configure as well. Prices are according to the market.

    Negative

    Up to this point, honestly there are no complaints about this service.

    Great support

    Date: Jul 11 2022
    Summary

    Overall it’s been fantastic, the GUI is super easy to use and the support team have been very responsive/eager to assist when needed. Also the degree of automation means getting what you need ASAP is achievable as you’re not waiting on people to manually process your requests.

    Positive

    We really liked how easy setup was, including that we got two free numbers to get us started straight away without having to wait for funds to clear etc.

    Negative

    The only downside we’ve experienced has been that if paying by credit card you need to have a cellphone registered to the card to authorise the transaction, and as a business paying with a company credit card this isn’t something we were Ybor to set up so had to setup and use a PayPal account and pay using that.

    Summary

    My company has been using Sonetel for a while, mainly for the purpose of call forwarding. From what I have heard it is an affordable and useful service for us.

    Positive

    Vikas from the Support Team was helpful in solving my problem and arranging a call at a time that suited me.

    Negative

    Myself and my colleagues struggled to navigate the website to solve the issue (changing our account settings) ourselves, and had to contact support.

    Date: Apr 19 2022
    Summary

    Great app overall. I haven't seen a strong con till now. The UI/UX is great. It does the job. Better than its competitors. Must download.

    Positive

    I downloaded the app because I needed a Singapore number quickly and they had a revert time of less than 1 day. By the end of day 2 I had my number!

    Negative

    For Singapore number, I haven't been able to set up my WhatsApp number.

    It has been amazing to work with such a talented, knowledgeable and supportive team at Sonetel - they made sure that I got my number up and running with a lightening speed. Good luck and keep the good team work, always ON.

    Positive

    Sonetel is the most reliable, easy to use, and economical way to connect with your friends, family and businesses - all across the globe.

    Negative

    Perhaps a bit more clarity on the documentation process to join, would make it a perfect - 10.

    Oustanding solution for SMEs

    Date: May 11 2022
    Summary

    It took a couple of days to process my ID etc. so that I could get my local number. After that, it was plain sailing. As a one-man-band it means I can have a local number for my business, and webchat, and have them route directly to my phone, for very little cost. Also - it took minimal effort on my part. A pleasant surprise.

    Positive

    For a small business, the cost is very attractive. Usually this comes with a poor user experience, but not in this case. It seems fairly powerful (although it can't compete with Zendesk or Genesys) and I think it will scale with my business.

    Negative

    The documentation needs work. They have taken the correct approach in trying to design an application that is so intuitive that no one will need the documentation, but it would be nice to have anyway.
