    Date: Apr 24 2023
    Summary

    it is awesome and I have already recommended a few of my friends to use it! The experience is good. ^_^

    Positive

    Have your own local phone number in any city or country worldwide and be able to get my SMS by my email.
    The mobile apps also provide me for your internal team communication – in terms of chat, free calls and conference calls.

    Negative

    The platform is very good and stable, just would like to have more features in the apps; so we may not need to use/open the browsers all the time.

    Great overall

    Date: Apr 28 2023
    Summary

    The app works very well, is easy to use and the call is clear without interruption. The service is also amazing, the support team was always there when I have any issues. I'm giving this a 4.5. Hopefully, when I can send messages, then it will be 5 for sure.

    Positive

    The virtual phone number from Sonetel has a competitive price compared to the others. The company is honest with the price and its call rates, unlike other companies who only reveal the phone number's real costs after signing up.

    Negative

    The voicemails are directed to the email associated with the account. They are easy to play on the laptop but need to download them when opening voice emails from the phone.

    I cannot reply to messages sent to the virtual phone number. That's the only thing I dislike after for about a month now.

    Negative

    For number ID very specific setup we did have to contact support first.

    Simple to use virtual number

    Updated: Nov 14 2023
    Summary

    I would recommend for forwarding to SIP softphone address. This way you can receive the call on multiple devices at the same time.

    Positive

    Numbers from different countries, many options available. Can be forwarded, to other numbers for a fee, or a softphone address, free of charge. Receive SMS from other SIM numbers, but had not received from 2FA sources, although an USA mobile number once received. Cheaper than the competition.

    Negative

    If redirected to answer in app, it doesn't receive the call unless the app is open. I read somewhere that the team is working on that.

    Date: Aug 22 2023
    Summary

    The overall experience is that it was easy to set things up with the needed features and the pricing that I found appropriate.

    Positive

    I looked at many competitors before choosing Sonetel based on:
    - the different plans and their progressivity
    - the ability to do quick tests of the features I needed
    - the friendliness of the UI to form out the team, the different numbers needed and the administration flexibility provided by the service
    - the fair value of the pricing
    - the interaction of the support

    Negative

    None so far. I have just started using the service and everything has worked as expected.

    5 stars easily earned.

    Updated: Dec 30 2023
    Summary

    I came across this company by chance, because I was looking for a virtual mobile number. While surfing the internet I clicked on their concept. I first created an account as a test and everything went smoothly. The internet is full of these services that are disappointing. But Sonetel is the big difference here and is not expensive. 5 stars easily earned. Happy New Year and keep up the good work.

    Positive

    Fast and clear service.
    Cheap solution.
    Not too much administrative redundancy.
    High quality value.
    Friendly and prompt customer service.
    etc...

    Negative

    If you don't experience any disadvantages or negatives, it is impossible to add them, hence this text with appreciation.
