    Hi there! Thanks for sharing the feedback. It would be wonderful if we could get some more info about the cons you mentioned, so that we can see if this is something that we can fix on our side. Are there some specific interfaces that need improvements? What is it that you found difficult doing? What kind of setup was hard to do? We have a help section at our web site - what article was missing? What plan change was it that caused loss of old number? You can surely move from Free to Premium or vice versa without losing your number. Looking forward to hearing back from you. Best regards, Henrik Thomé CEO and Founder

    Summary

    Voice quality is great, never had a dropped call, works with hardware VoIP phones, but UX for managing users/numbers/features/billing could be improved.

    Positive

    Nice VoIP service with friendly prices and great support. Virtual phone numbers are available in the majority of countries.

    Negative

    Web UI could be more intuitive (only used for admin tasks).

    Excellent Customer Centric Product

    Date: Nov 17 2021
    Summary

    Overall, it's a positive experience using the application. Looking forward to new features and advancements!

    Positive

    What I like about Sonetel is that its plans are affordable and they provide quality services.

    The interactions that I've had with their customer services - I find that they turn around quickly and their communication is quite generous and friendly.

    Their web interface is clean and easy to navigate.

    Web-app is nicely designed for both iOS and Android, it's easy to use and call connectivity is seamless.

    Negative

    None.

    Easiest solution

    Date: Nov 01 2021
    Summary

    I was struggling between switching the sim every time I was to receive a call from my work (from outside the country). Having Sonetel for such effective prices is really helpful.

    Positive

    Having an alternate number for such effective prices makes it easy for contacting my team out of country.

    Negative

    None. But one nice upgrade on retaining the number for longer period could be helpful. As, at times, the number isn't used for a month while using applications like Teams.

    Summary

    Good experience with this company. Except for my personal mess-up starting the service. My bad, not theirs.

    Positive

    Inexpensive, good quality. Tech service is very responsive and helpful. The service is very easy to set up and administer. My users love it.

    Negative

    Site is not the easiest to navigate. There are some features I would like to have, but they either do not offer them or I cannot find them.

    My experience with Sonetel (Only two days so far)

    Date: Nov 06 2021
    Summary

    I have just started (on November 4, 2021) so only thing I can praise is the attention from support. It was very important.

    Positive

    I have never called yet.But I like the idea of having a US Cell phone number at a good price.

    So far support has been great.
    Vikas is the person that has answered all my questions very quickly and with the right answers.
    Unfortunately I have not used my phone number yet and nobody has called me to that number so far.
    I just called to my number yesterday, November 4, 2021 and I was very glad to see in my iPhone screen my US Number calling me. That is exactly what I needed.
    My Bank In the US told me that it was imperative that I get a US Cell Number. That is why I needed this number.

    Negative

    So far... Nothing at all. I will have to wait a little longer in order to be able to answer this particular box.

    Makes keeping your company number permanent easy

    Date: Dec 21 2021
    Summary

    Sonetel has been easy to use and very helpful. We have been using it for our UK office the last few years flawlessly and have just purchased a number for our Hungarian team.

    Positive

    Sontetel has helped us to keep a permanent company number easy for us. Whether our sales reps move from one area code to another or we choose to send the callers to another rep, it is all done with just a few clicks. It is hard to believe that for just a few dollars a month you can have a local number in any area.

    Negative

    The website could have a bit more explanation on what each page function is for.

    Everything is great but it can have a better UI.

    Really loved the customer support. UI is pretty simple and the solution is very cost-effective.

    Address Verification

    Updated: Nov 18 2021
    Summary

    My overall experience was a little frustrating as my verification items were rejected twice. Not until I sent an email asking why my items were specifically rejected did I understand what was specifically needed.

    Positive

    1) Quick response
    2) Professional service
    3) Courteous service

    Thank you for your help, I hope to work with this company in the future.

    Summary

    Apart from what I wrote in the Cons section, the system and the staff are good. Recommended.

    Positive

    Fast customer service and verification time.
    Reasonable prices.
    User-friendly interface.
    Fast call-forwarding

    Negative

    The information of the verification to be need should be given at the very beginning of the web page before submitting or buying the product. If it already is, it should be highlighted. If the service wasn't that fast, It would be very disappointing.
