    Date: Sep 23 2022
    Summary

    Overall it's a good product, with some nice features like pick your own number, the pricing is fair as well.

    Positive

    The user interface and call forwarding services are nice. The customer service is quick to respond and help as well.

    Nothing that I can think of, only thing I can recommend is that there is scope of improvement in the phone app as it crashes on and off.

    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.

    My experience with Sonetel

    Date: Oct 14 2022
    Summary

    Very good. As I said it would be nice if they add the identity verification feature to the list of services they provide. Other than that, Sonetel is highly recommended for making and receiving calls.

    Positive

    Fast and reliable. It only took me less than one day to know about the services and purchase my local number. Communication with staff through email is very easy and fast. Sonetel staff are very helpful and knowledgeable.

    Negative

    I only wish that Sonetel would include identity validation in the services they provide. It is helpful to have this service when a third party require authentication.

    Sonetel Performance

    Updated: Jun 08 2022
    Summary

    Overall experience is good. Quality, pricing, delivery and after sales is great. Keep it up and keep improving. Team Sonetel is good in listening to clients

    Positive

    I have been referred to Sonetel through a frustrated customer/ friend of mine. He had complaints like delayed response, late replies, slow complaint rectification, technical glitches and a lot more. But still he referred Sonetel to me. When I asked the reason that it was all during the covid 19 period and whole world was stuck in a different kind of problem.
    Before and after covid era he was satisfied with Sonetel. And since the covid is under control, Sonetel performance too improved by multiple folds.

    He used virtual phones of many other companies too but he rated Sonetel on the top of all. End of the story- He is completely satisfied with the performance of Sonetel.

    Negative

    Delayed response (during covid times).
    Lot of technical glitches (during covid times).

    Positive

    Looking good as solution with the virtual number option for many users to achieve their objectives.

    Some UI issues are there which are not acceptable and need to be solved urgently.
