    Thank You for SONETEL's Outstanding Service

    Updated: Dec 20 2024
    Summary

    I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding service you provide. Over the years, I have used various number platforms, including Twilio and Grasshopper, but none have met my needs quite like SONETEL.

    While other platforms often come with high prices and numerous restrictions, SONETEL stands out with its affordable rates and flexibility. In the six months that I have been a loyal user, I have been deeply impressed by your humanized service. Whenever I encountered an issue, your team was always there to assist me promptly and effectively.

    This level of customer care and dedication left a lasting impression on me. It's clear that SONETEL genuinely prioritizes its users, and this is why I continue to choose your platform over others.

    I sincerely hope that SONETEL's business continues to thrive, and I also wish all SONETEL users great success in their own endeavors. Thank you once again for your exceptional service and support.

    Positive

    I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional service you provide. As an online worker, I rely heavily on multiple phone numbers to meet my daily communication needs. Unfortunately, a single mobile phone number simply cannot accommodate the volume and diversity of tasks required in my work.

    SONETEL's service has been a game-changer for me. Your solution not only bridges this gap seamlessly but also enhances my efficiency and productivity. The ease of setting up additional numbers, combined with the reliability of your platform, has exceeded my expectations.

    Thank you for providing such an indispensable service for professionals like me. I truly appreciate the thought and effort that has gone into making SONETEL a reliable and user-friendly solution.

    Negative

    Some countries have more expensive numbers. That is it.

    Updated: Oct 12 2024
    Summary

    I have recently opened an account with Sonetel for my freelance activities. I can confirm they really care about customers and their statement in this regards is true: “Customers are at the heart of everything we do at Sonetel.”. I would also add a notice that Sonetel also take accounts security very seriously. Beside the regular KYC verification they make sure customers are not gonna use phone numbers for any reasons not listed in the TOS. After you have passed verification, you will be sure you have a reliable platform to manage your phone services. I wish Sonetel a big success.

    Positive

    Reliable infrastructure; Low prices; Well recognized - many service like Instagram allow usage Sonetel phone numbers.

    Negative

    Not all virtual cards are accepted - if card does not support subscriptions you will not be able to add it to the account.

    Date: Oct 29 2024
    Summary

    Good App. Great service. It allows you to have a phone number (local or tool free) and answer anywhere in the world. Great for frequent travellers. I’m very satisfied.

    Positive

    The Sonetel 2.0 app is easy to use. I had an issue with the purchase of an international phone number and the customer Support was fast and efficient. I'm very satisfied so far.

    Negative

    I wish I could answer to the incoming call directly from the iOS app. At the moment I can answer only through the web app but you can also transfer all the incoming call to a Sonetel user (myself) on my personal cell phone. It is easy and with a premium you have lot of minutes available!

    Date: Nov 20 2024
    Summary

    I could not be happier with the service provided by Sonetel! From start to finish, they have consistently delivered exemplary service that exceeds expectations. Their platform is user-friendly, their features are robust, and the support team is incredibly responsive and helpful.

    Sonetel has truly been a game-changer for my business communication needs, providing reliable and seamless solutions every step of the way. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch communication services. Thank you, Sonetel, for your outstanding commitment to excellence!

    Positive

    I am a United States citizen living as an expat in Mexico. I need a service that can forward my clients' calls directly to me here in Mexico for a reasonable fee.

    Any glitches were minor, and Customer Service has always responded promptly.

    I could not be happier with Sonetel.

    Negative

    One minor glitch was due to the Sonetel billing software. I am on auto-pay, and there was a single event, just single, where I kept receiving emails that I had to top off my account with funds. Customer Service responded, and we worked through this glitch.
    I consider this glitch minor and am very realistic in my expectations regarding any service. Problematic events happen with anyone and any service. No system runs perfectly. Such is life. I pay attention to Customer Service response and how effectively solutions are managed. Sonetel receives favorable flying colors in their response time and the remedy provided.

    Updated: Nov 29 2024
    Summary

    Average.
    Confused based on need for documentation & validations in beginning.
    Further confusion when a different number is being used than the one I have purchased?

    Positive

    What appeared to be an easy & straightforward implementation.
    Web based record system seems well constructed.

    Negative

    Lack of definition & still not convinced is solution intended for US users as global call forwarding is not supported. i.e. US caller could not use number as was intended to reach NZ recipient.
