Customer Service ROCKS!
Date: May 08 2022SummarySonetel truly EXCEEDED my expectations by leaps and bounds! We are utilizing it for a singular line but I would hazard to guess that this would work beautifully for a business needing international lines!
PositiveI reached out to them to see when a number would be available for Japan, my son just got a job there and needed a local number. They jumped through many hoops to get him taken care of. I cannot say enough good things about the customer service received from Shazia, Amit, and Vikas! They were Patient, Kind, and Persevered to get him a number!
NegativeI am completely happy with the service I received!

The only option we found that is as good and cheap as skype!
Date: Sep 13 2022SummaryVery happy so far, both with service and support, thanks!
If you are looking for a service that allows phone calls, web chat ( and probably more when you see this - they seem to be adding features constantly), then give it a try.
There is monthly, yearly and credit options for most features, and free as well, so.... Try it :)PositiveEasy to use, user friendly, very affordable and above all... Well, it just works great. It was a time saver and a deal maker for us - really. Keep up the great work!
NegativeHave not found so far.

Worldwide numbers available.
Date: Sep 27 2022SummaryThis was the 2nd time I became client. The company lasts. The 1st time I become client was in 2015. Now I needed a European number and it was always there when I needed. And best of all: Affordable and reliable phone, and perfect customer service...
PositiveThe service is excellent! Worldwide numbers available! You simply choose and test immediately and its ready to use.
NegativeThe only drawback this time was that the Portugal phone I needed does not receive SMS.

I dont use the full service but the phone forwarding is flawless
Date: Feb 28 2022SummaryThere are tons of other features that Sonetel offer that I don't use, but I can speak about the call forwarding feature. It's super easy to set up and really easy to change numbers. So if you're travelling and changing local sims often you can just have one number in your home country that will forward to your new SIM cards. Support is also very helpful when I've needed it.
PositiveI can be anywhere in the world and people can contact me using a local number. It's really easy to set up, and very cheap.
NegativeHonestly I really don't have any cons that I can think of, it just works.

Hidden Gem
Date: Jul 27 2022SummaryRecommended for everyone, especially small nonprofits or startups on a tight budget. Nice selection of numbers to choose from too.
PositiveIt took me a while to find Sonetel. I first tried Avoxi, Zadarma, TextNow, Hushed, Second Phone, Aircall, Cybtel, MightyCall, and Bria. They were all expensive or had awful sound quality. I had almost given up when I found Sonetel. The interface is clean and fairly intuitive. There's a free option for those wanting chat integration with their website, very competitive rates for DID number reservation ($2/month), and helpful customer service.
NegativeInitial SMS verification didn't work and needed customer support to activate the account. Needed two $10 PayPal payments initially (not sure why the account drained so quickly in the first setup day). Mobile app is only useful for those on the premium plan.

Sontel Phone
Updated: Jan 11 2022SummaryEasy set-up experience for international numbers. Your line gets activated quickly. Customer support is ready to help you with the verification process to get your international line up and running.
PositiveCustomer support is really prompt at responding to your inquiries. They help you with your needs and respond a few minutes to a few hours.
NegativePrice for the line is close to what other competitors offer. However, calls per minute are somewhat pricy. It would be nice if they offered free calls when they are done over the internet. No SMS option but this could be because of lack of support from certain countries using a virtual number.
