Personal US number in PH
I've been looking for a way to make calls with a US phone number for personal use mainly for travel since I'm in the Philippines and internet connection is not always that stable. Got a US number with Sonetel, got thru verification easily and made calls to my relatives in the US right away using their call forwarding service. I was guided step by step by their customer service until I was fully set up. Real awesome!

Great customer service
I found and signed up Sonetel when Skype announced to stop its service a year ago. The porting process of my phone number was easy, the customer service is superb. Keep up the good work Sonetel team!

Great Platform and Even Better Support
I really love Sonetel’s calling platform. The service itself is great but the customer support is even better. I had a chat with Kiran who made sure I was fully set up and receiving quality service. I would happily recommend Sonetel.

They are just a shit voip provider, they still your money, always try to charge your credit card for no reason and the service is shit like the company. Do not use them all these reviews are paid. I have been using them and trapped for an year.

Sonetel offers the best call rate for international calls
Sonetel offers the best call rate for calls between America and Australia. My family in America say it is so easy for them to call me now. The site is easy to navigate. Opening my account was so simple.

Best deal for a US phone company
I live in Mexico but my business is in the US. Sonetel has done so much for us, as a business. Any client can call the Sonetel US number, and it will be redirected to me. SMS and voice messages get to my email inbox right away. I could not be happier with its service.
Moreover, when I contacted them when I needed an invoice they sent it the next day. Very very happy with its customer service too!

I really liked the customer service. Even though I felt the approval took long, Jasmeet didn't let me feel so.

Incomplete and missing information led to pay for nothing. Customer care asking for many documents, multiple times even if already provided.

Hi Francesco,
Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry to hear the verification process felt frustrating.
Switzerland city numbers require strict documentation as mandated by local regulations — these requirements come directly from our provider and are not within our control to waive. We sincerely apologize if the back-and-forth communication made the process feel unclear or repetitive.
I'm glad to confirm that your Switzerland number was successfully activated. If you are still experiencing any issues or have concerns about your account, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at support.supervisor@sonetel.com and I will personally assist you.

Excellent customer service. The team was quick to respond, professional, and very friendly throughout the entire process. Setting up and managing the service was smooth, and support handled questions efficiently without wasting time. A reliable option for businesses looking for responsive communication support.

Support team did a great job managing a number switch. Appreciate their help and follow ups. Only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the app needs some attention. But great service from the help team and happy over all.

It doesn't work
It doesn't work. I bought a number and credit for making calls. The system is super buggy, slow, does not connect, locks me out all the time. It's a real headache and lost money.
I wouldn't advise anyone to buy anything from this company.
