I am experiencing problems with the interface on both the desktop and phone (the PHONE button is missing and several other minor issues). But it may be due to my lack of experience. I will talk first with your tech support team to sort out the issues. And in the end they might not be negatives after all. -

Consistently good customer service
Date: Feb 11 2022SummaryEven when I have issues, they make it works and/or educate me when I need help. I have been using Sonetel for 7+ years and although I sometimes try other providers, I always come back to Sonetel.
PositiveIn no certain order: 1.) It just works; 2.) very reasonable costs; 3.) when there are issues, the customer service is prompt, consistent, and they actually make an effort to help. (this is a little bit rare in today's society)
NegativeThe mobile phone apps are still "quirky". Sometimes the old Sonetel app works better than the Sonetel 2 app (like when downloading address books).

Very responsive customer service
Date: Nov 17 2022SummaryOverall an excellent experience purchasing and setting up, no complaints. Keep up the great customer service!
Positive- customer service is amazing, very responsive and helpful
- prices are fair, I like that it accepts Paypal
- seems to do what it advertises, I mainly need it for the SMS capabilities and it works perfectly so farNegative- a little confusing to learn how to use at first, the website feels like it's missing some guides or something but I was still able to figure it out. If I wasn't able to figure it out on my own, I'm confident the CS would have been able to help anyway.

A true case of pros and cons
Date: Apr 20 2022SummaryIt is a good service, reasonably priced. The individual service engineer with whom i finally made contact and who was finally able to assist me, was excellent. But your overall service leaves a great deal to be desired. You came very close to losing me as a customer, which would have been a shame, because i am generally happy with having this calling option. It is a big asset for me.
PositiveHaving a phone number in the states from which i can initiate and receive calls is a major plus for me. The calls are usually clear, good quality. and when you can get hold of a person when you need service, they are accommodating, patient and helpful. (thank you, Shazia!) the pricing is also reasonable.
NegativeThe general service is less than adequate. First, you did something to your system that caused me to have to reset my password.... then made it frustratingly impossible for me to actually do it. And your shortage of service staff resulted in my being without my line for a long time.
