    Summary

    Sonetel is a good choice for small businesses and individuals looking for an affordable, easy-to-use solution for international communication. However, larger businesses or those needing advanced features or flawless support may find other providers more suitable.

    Positive

    Affordable International Calling:

    Sonetel offers competitive rates for international calls, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses and individuals who need to connect across borders.

    Virtual Phone Numbers:

    Users can get virtual phone numbers from different countries, which is useful for businesses expanding internationally, as it allows them to have a local presence in multiple regions without needing physical offices.

    Cloud-Based System:

    As a cloud-based service, Sonetel doesn’t require users to manage physical infrastructure. This makes it scalable and flexible, as users can access the service from anywhere with an internet connection.
    Call Forwarding & Voicemail:

    Sonetel provides features like call forwarding and voicemail, allowing businesses to maintain better communication management, even when employees are working remotely or in different time zones.

    Negative

    Call Quality Variability:

    While Sonetel generally provides good call quality, some users report occasional issues with call clarity or dropped calls, especially with international connections.
    Limited Advanced Features:

    Sonetel not have as many advanced features as some larger or more specialized communication platforms, such as full-fledged virtual PBX systems or CRM integrations, which may be a limitation for more complex business needs.

    Good enough

    Date: Feb 11 2024
    Summary

    Good, sufficient for what I'm looking for. The only comment I have is that sometimes the App doesn't connect calls so I end up using the Web version. Otherwise it works well!

    Positive

    It works well. Service is good. I like that they send emails with the script and audio of voicemails - it reminds me to call back clients.

    Negative

    The only con is that it works better on Web than on the App.

    Sonetel support is awesome

    Date: Sep 05 2024
    Summary

    Shazia from Sonetel guided me through the time to understand how Sonetel works. Her reactivity and clarity are the reason for my 5 stars notation. I had never used a Virtual Phone number before.

    I can say now that Sonetel is a Swedish company that is listed and trustworthy.

    Positive

    Sonetel support is awesome: reactive, clear, precise.

    I needed a Canadian number for banks and business purposes, but did not need to pay the full incumbent Telco price as my European Phone works fine in Canada. I researched the Virtual Phone competition market.

    Sonetel offers the best value. Incomparable pricing.

    Negative

    I had never used a Virtual Phone number before, so getting used to the Sonetel system and the different payment schemes took me some time.

    Also, as I had no prior knowledge or brand recognition of Sonetel, I was always wary of being involved with a legitimate company. I have been a victim of Internet abuse, and I have a high level of sensitivity; obviously, Sonetel is legit.

    Positive

    Reliable Communication

    Date: Nov 26 2024

    Neat design and easy to use

    Date: Nov 08 2024
    Summary

    The app provides all functions I need for operating my account and using the service with just my mobile phone.

    Positive

    I like the neat design of the app, and that it offers all functions I need to operate my virtual number, from call forwarding to making international and local calls at lower rates. For companies, it should be useful for communication among people working in different countries.

    Negative

    At the beginning, it took some time to figure out how to work around.
