    Sonetel Review 20 June 2023

    Date: Jun 20 2023
    Summary

    Overall, I am very pleased with the service that Sonetel has provided me. I just wish that my Colombia number would be less expensive but that is fine.

    Positive

    The representative was very professional, and with ease was able to resolve my concerns. The representative is always open to giving me multiple options for my ease in working my business.

    Negative

    Every time not only in this case, we always have to send multiple emails before we are contacted back and most likely it’s because Sonetel does not work on weekends, which is acceptable.

    Excellent Service , Excellent Customer Service!

    Date: Nov 22 2023
    Summary

    Excellent service.
    Excellent Customer Support Service.
    You're able to port your existing USA number.
    You're able to use WhatsApp.
    Fair price.
    That's all you need, 100% recommended.

    Positive

    I have some very specific requirements and was looking for a while for a reliable option until i found Sonetel.
    It's absolutely great, you can port your existing USA number and make use of it even in WhatsApp (these two features combined was my no brainer decision)

    Negative

    So far, there's nothing i can consider as a con.
    Only thing that worth to mention is that porting your existing number can take some time and effort (but not because of Sonetel but because of your existing carrier), in my case it took me like 3 weeks but because carrier was not providing the right information to accomplish the porting process but Sonetel's support team was always there to guide me and help me out during this process, Vikas you rocks!

    Sonetel is just amazing

    Date: Feb 24 2023
    Summary

    Generally speaking, the system is really good, it's nice to get my voicemails in the email etc.
    If anyone asks me i would definitely advise Sonetel.

    Positive

    Any time there is a problem, they get back to me very soon and take care of it right away.

    It is really a pleasure to use their services.

    And the prices are also very reasonable!

    Negative

    My line just stopped working without notice, i would have liked to be notified that my balance ran out, before people got stuck trying to call me.

    Very Handy Service

    Date: Nov 10 2023
    Summary

    It has been a good experience and the customer support has been very helpful the entire time, if a little slow to respond as they are not in my country/time zone.

    Positive

    I like that I seem to be in the country the number is associated with. This has helped me when I do not want the company I am involved with to know I am not in their country. People can call and text me with a local number and they don't pay for an international call/text and I only pay .02c per minute to receive the call, which is very inexpensive and I pay nothing to receive texts (which come to my email).

    The monthly cost is very reasonable, $2.99 US.

    Negative

    I would like the texts to go to my phone rather than email.

    Date: Sep 30 2023
    Summary

    For the price, I feel it’s a good service, covers my needs. With peace of mind that if I run into any issues, I will have a team available to help me solve them.

    Positive

    Very supportive responsive customer support team, prompt responses.
    Simple settings, straight forward & reliable services.

    Negative

    App needs some improvements, but nothing a deal breaker. Would be nice to have sms on the app rather than routed to email.

    Local numbers in different countries

    Date: Jun 20 2023
    Summary

    I would recommend it to those who are looking for local numbers in different countries across the world.

    Positive

    We needed a service where we can just get a local number in a country and forward it to an existing number in another country, without the need of a PBX. So this service is offered by Sonetel and they have a good customer support. Quick to respond and fix issues.

    Negative

    The only con I have is the payment option. If there would be a possibility to purchase credit without linking the card it would be nice.

    Date: Mar 27 2023
    Summary

    I have enjoyed every bit of Sonetel. I tried signing up for an Australian number on several platforms and they made it so difficult, Sonetel made it very easy and the onboarding process smooth.

    Positive

    I like that I can make calls easily at an affordable rate with Sonetel.

    The support is also very great, they are quick to respond and always help to solve issues. I had the most amazing onboarding experience.

    Negative

    I can’t send text messages with the phone number which is very limiting.

    Feedback after using account for 6 months

    Date: Aug 16 2023
    Summary

    I recommend you to make a video tutorial on YouTube, and leave a channel link on the site. It is cheaper than hire agents for live chat.

    Positive

    - Fast service
    The Sonetel provide phone number with less than 8 hours. It is very comfortable. Nowadays speed is very important to make a business. I have used other services before, but they provide phone number with delay 1-2 days.

    - Verification process
    Verification is easy to pass, even more when I needed a new phone number I was able to get it without additional verification.

    - SMS/call
    Good connection + SMS were delivered very fast.

    Negative

    Start
    It is a bit difficult on the start. I haven't seen tutorial how to get SMS from services or friends.

    Support
    There is no live chat support. Sometimes I need to wait 12-24h for reply.
