It's working fine for international call forwarding

It's working fine for getting a number in Australia, and call fowarding internationally to another number.

They request documents after you purchase a number. It's quite a lot and invasive including passport, proof of address, but they were fast and responsive. If you choose not to verify yourself, they will refund you so that's nice.

The sontel webapp is buggy and could be vastly improved which is why I gave it 4 stars. Compared to skype or teams, the website (on phone or pc) is average. The android app is so awful I uninstalled it.

However, I don't need the webapp and for the simple need to forward a call internationally to another number, it does the job.

the app is meeting its purpose smoothly

the app is meeting its purpose smoothly. quite nice, clean minimalistic user interface. no ads first of all. calling wise, the voice quality is good, but the voice volume in the app is slightly lower, maybe they can add option to increase volume to 200X or 300X. They have highly active customer support. so your money/subscription/account is safe.

will definitely to go with your calling. i am using it to dial us numbers.

Excellent Support for Last-Minute Skype Number Transfer

Great customer service from Sonetel.

I signed up for a Sonetel account to transfer my Skype number after the advertised expiration date. It was right on the last day, so I was not sure whether the transfer would still be possible.

Annu R was very quick to respond and guided me clearly through the process. It was a real bonus that the number could still be transferred successfully.

Really appreciate the prompt support and great service. Thank you, Annu!

SCAM

SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!!

This company is total scam. I created an account. paid $14. They closed my account within a day after payment. Customer support is totally trash. They don't even help. Replies to the emails after hours. Never provide the service I need. No reason why my account get closed. Took all personal inof from billing addresses, utility bills, ID card, selfies etc. Also cant let me login to my account. My card is connnected still.

Did this again when I created second account becasue they told me to create new account since my first acocunt was closed. DID THE SAME THING.

Positive Experience

I've had a positive experience with Sonetel so far. The setup process was straightforward, and the platform offers useful features for managing virtual phone numbers and business communications. Customer support has been responsive when needed. There is still room for improvement in a few areas, but overall it's a reliable service that provides good value for businesses.

Outstanding customer service.

Highly recommended! The service works very well and, unexpectedly, the customer service is truly outstanding. The setup process for some international virtual number services involve some time-consuming regulatory hoops to jump through, but these are obviously not Sonetel's fault. Kiran from customer support did a fantastic job, walking me patiently and efficiently through the whole process.

I live now in Panama

I live now in Panama, have a Swiss mobile and a Panama mobile number. To use a special service from Switzerland without costs for raoming, Sonetel gave me a proper and unexpensive solution.
