    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.

    Grateful for SONETEL's Outstanding Service

    Date: Dec 20 2024
    Summary

    I want to thank SONETEL for the excellent service you provide. As an online worker, managing multiple tasks often requires more than one phone number, and your platform has been a perfect solution.

    SONETEL makes it easy to set up additional numbers, and its reliability has greatly improved my productivity. I truly appreciate the effort put into creating such a user-friendly and dependable service. Thank you!

    Positive

    I want to express my gratitude for SONETEL's exceptional service. As an online worker, I rely on multiple phone numbers to manage daily tasks effectively, and your platform has been a game-changer.

    SONETEL's ease of use and reliability have significantly boosted my productivity. Thank you for creating such a dependable and user-friendly solution!

    Negative

    In certain countries, the cost of numbers is higher. That’s just how it is.

    Reliable Communication

    Date: Nov 26 2024
    Summary

    Overall, my experience with Sonetel has been positive. The app provides cost-effective communication tools. While there are occasional issues with call drop/quality, they are minor and do not significantly impact our operations.

    Positive

    1. Affordable Calling
    2. Virtual Phone Number
    3. Customer Support Tools
    4. Multi-Platform Access
    5. No Hidden Fees

    Negative

    1. The app lacks a dark mode option, which can be inconvenient for users who prefer a darker interface for better readability or to reduce eye strain, especially during nighttime use.

    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.

    Exceptional Service and Outstanding Support from Sonetel

    Date: Dec 13 2024
    Summary

    Thanks to Sonetel, our communication processes have become more efficient and cost-effective. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable communication services backed by exceptional support

    Positive

    Sonetel provides an excellent service, offering a seamless solution for virtual phone numbers and global communication needs. Their platform is intuitive and easy to use, making it ideal for businesses of all sizes.

    What truly sets Sonetel apart is their outstanding customer service. Their team is highly responsive, professional, and genuinely committed to resolving any issues promptly. Whether it’s answering technical questions or assisting with setup, they go above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience.

    Negative

    While the service is overall impressive, some advanced features can be a bit complex to configure for first-time users without technical expertise. However, their support team is always ready to help, which mitigates this concern significantly.

    Date: Nov 20 2024
    Summary

    We love the advantages that our Sonetel number provide us and our clients alike. Absolutely recommended!

    Positive

    Its dashboard is super user-friendly, allows us to easily edit phone number or e-mail address to which phone calls and text messages are redirected respectively. The fees and costs involved are more than fair and allow us as a small business operating in three different countries to afford such a fantastic service!

    Negative

    Some platforms and apps won't accept a Sonetel number for verification purposes yet.

    Easy helpful and secure

    Date: Nov 08 2024
    Summary

    I've been traveling all year round for a long time, and this is the service I've been looking for to receive double authentication SMS messages, especially when there's a problem with a SIM card or when it's lost/stolen, and the same goes for smartphones and tablets. Sonetel numbers are accepted with online banks, health and assistance organizations, pension organization, and internet giants is no longer a worry.
    If WhatsApp refuse your number just open an account with a SIM card and change the number of your account with a Sonetel number.

    Positive

    First of all, I appreciate the quick response from support.
    I use Sonetel exclusively to receive SMS messages.
    No more need for a SIM card, no more fear of losing it or having my account hacked, as happens so often even with double authentication.
    By fine-tuning several mail redirections, you can receive SMS on different media with different messaging providers.

    Negative

    The iOS and Android applications work very well, but the interface needs to be corrected to become sexier and more intuitive.

    Sonetel

    Updated: Apr 06 2023
    Summary

    It has been a good experience so far, a good feature will be to be able to reply from the email Sonetel sends when an SMS arrives with the USA number or any other number that you do choose.

    Positive

    For me it has been a really useful tool, since I do have a software development agency plus I do work as a consultant for USA companies, having presence with a USA number helps me to have a more professional image plus the help to separate my personal and professional life with two numbers or more in a single mobile device.

    Negative

    Is not so cheap or maybe it is because with the sum of all the SaaS that nowadays we have to pay is what I do feel, but I understand all the infrastructure needed in order to create something like Sonetel.
