    A great option for professional virtual number

    Date: Dec 13 2021
    Summary

    I was recommended getting a virtual number for professional purposes and was recommended Sonetel, so I got to them and since I started using it it's has exceeded my expectations. It's quite easy to create an account, get the number, activate all the services and all the procedures. But what I appreciate the most is the effective customer support they have, which is kind, knowledgeable and fast. In addition to this, I highlight their transparency in every transaction I make because they immediately send a receipt and an invoice to my email. I started using my number and works perfect. I can't be more satisfied.

    Positive

    Easy to use since the very beginning, a great customer service, professional and technical assistance, versatile and honesty (they send an invoice for any payment you make).

    Negative

    I haven't found any inconvenience so far, even being a new user.

    Easy to use calling platform

    Date: Nov 16 2021
    Summary

    A great lightweight platform for making international calls.

    Positive

    Super easy to use interface. Very slow start up costs (the lowest I've seen of all virtual number platforms). Good customer service.

    Negative

    There isn't a completely pay-as-you go plan. We were looking for a platform that we could just pay for calls and not have a monthly fee.
