    "Kind, quick, attentive assistance"

    Posted 2026-09-07

    Pros: Very helpful and provided well-experienced knowledge patiently. The assistant patiently kept in touch with me when I could not solve the problem quickly. It was helpful that the assistant gave me several options to try out. It was comforting that I could personally get to reach the assistant. Inexpensive communication tool.

    Cons: Time difference. I could not contact or reach the assistant immediately, but we can’t do anything about this.

    It takes a while (more than a minute) for a caller to wait to finally reach other party, when I try to call. And, in my case, I have to call several times to get my line connected.

    Overall: I am pleased with the service. It was very helpful when I needed to call 800 (U.S.) number and be kept waiting online for a long time. I am still a new user and have not tried this service fully. I look forward to exploring the service more. Thank you.

    "Reliable service with responsive support"

    Posted 2026-08-19

    Pros: ∙ Fast signup and easy-to-use app
    ∙ Wide range of countries and number types available
    ∙ Support is responsive and genuinely follows through until issues are resolved

    Cons: ∙ Address verification requirements for national numbers could be communicated earlier, ideally at checkout

    Overall: I purchased a Netherlands number through Sonetel ahead of an upcoming relocation. Setup was quick and the app itself works well once numbers are active.
    I ran into two hiccups along the way. First, verification for a national (085) number required Netherlands address proof in my own name, which I did not know about until after purchase. Since I did not yet have local documentation, support processed a refund for that number without any pushback. Second, a Netherlands mobile (097) number briefly had an issue receiving incoming calls, but the support team followed up quickly, asked the right questions, and resolved it after investigation.

    "Essential Tool for Running a Global Agency from India"

    Posted 2026-04-23

    Pros: Extremely easy to set up international phone numbers. As someone running an agency with clients in the UK and Canada, having local numbers is a game-changer for credibility. The pricing is very transparent, and the call forwarding works seamlessly without any noticeable lag.

    Cons: I would love to see even more local number options.

    Overall: Sonetel has been a vital part of my business infrastructure. It allowed me to establish a professional presence in multiple countries instantly. It’s reliable, affordable, and perfect for founders who need to handle international outreach without a massive overhead.

    "Smooth and efficient operation"

    Edited 2026-03-08

    Pros: The mobile number works efficiently through the Sonetel web app. I can receive SMS messages by email and also make calls internationally with very competitive rates per minute. Because I travel between the US and Australia a lot, my Sonetel number is a lifesaver for keeping in touch with colleagues and other important social and professional tasks.

    Cons: I have no cons to report. All aspects of the product function smoothly as web and mobile apps.

    Overall: After Skype closed, I searched for a suitable host for my Skype number. Sonetel was able to port the number to their service. It was a huge relief having access to my number again. The customer service at Sonetel is topnotch. The agents are very responsive and helpful. Technical issues, if any, are resolved within a short time. This is an exceptional company with an outstanding product. There's no need to look any further - Sonetel is the best!
