Good choice for freeancers
Updated: Oct 12 2024SummaryI 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.
PositiveReliable infrastructure; Low prices; Well recognized - many service like Instagram allow usage Sonetel phone numbers.
NegativeNot all virtual cards are accepted - if card does not support subscriptions you will not be able to add it to the account.

Fantastic Customer Support
Date: Oct 29 2024SummaryGood 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.
PositiveThe 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.
NegativeI 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!

3 years of Service and I am still happy!
Date: Nov 20 2024SummaryI 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!PositiveI 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.NegativeOne 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. -

Sonetel Review
Updated: Nov 29 2024SummaryAverage.
Confused based on need for documentation & validations in beginning.
Further confusion when a different number is being used than the one I have purchased?PositiveWhat appeared to be an easy & straightforward implementation.
Web based record system seems well constructed.NegativeLack 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.

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
