Sonetel service
Date: Dec 27 2024SummaryOnce you are signed up and registered, the post sale service is excellent.
Overall service and concept is excellent. i especially like the fact that SMS messages can be sent you via e-mail, so at least you get them.PositiveService post sale is very good, once you are registered. The requirements with sending copied of documents is a little cumbersome, but once done, the service is excellent.
NegativeWeb site is a little slow and difficult, and not too clear, and this makes it difficult to comply with all requirements for registration. In addition there is no availability to contact anyone by telephone in oder to determine how to finish registration, only be e-mail. Suggest a tel number one could call to get assistance

Excellent experience using Sonetel
Updated: Nov 18 2024SummaryI use Sonetel to be able to have a USA phone number while being abroad in Central America, which was not possible with prepaid SIM cards that don't have roaming outside the USA (except Canada, Mexico, etc).
So far Sonetel has performed beyond my expectations & I'm happy with the service.PositiveI found the initial setup to be very easy & the process to get your new phone number working was very smooth. After initial setup the functions of receiving/making calls & SMS was what I expected & haven't found any issues so far.
NegativeSince this is a virtual phone number in the USA, I can't use apps like WhatsApp to communicate.

Very Cheap
Date: Oct 09 2024SummaryI had no issues, the app is easy to use and clear. It is a lot cheaper than other apps. If you still don't use it, you are missing out on a lot.
PositiveSonetel is the most simple, user-friendly, efficient and the cheapest business number app. I didn't have any issues yet, and I don't think I will. Email customer support is very helpful and generous, they will give you bonuses.
NegativeIt would be better if SMS messages coming to the number could be seen on the app or forwarded to the number calls are forwarded to.
