Jasmeet was polite, cordial, friendly, positive, reassuring and clear in communications about what was needed on my part. Thorough as well. Follow through was perfect. Thank you for your help.

I've been using Sonetel for over a year…

I've been using Sonetel for over a year now. I have used the service (mostly for SMS notifications) and I'm really satisfied. I've had to contact customer support a few times, but the response was always quick, courteous and the issue was resolved. I'm really pleased and will stay a customer.

Account setup & number activation

While I had problems with the initial setup and activation of my new number, the Sonetel Customer Service was able to assist and resolve. Sonia D, was very helpful and responded promptly to my queries, provided detailed information and advised that the issues were sorted. In addition, she also followed up to confirm everything was working fine. I really appreciated the excellent customer service.

Good service, value for money

Website has a sleek look, features are great at the price point, and backend support is stellar. Sajida has been a great help during my number activation process.

SCAM AVOID!!

SCAM AVOID!!! Same story with all the other 1 stars. They hide the buttons to unsubscribe and take money by being very missleading.

Excellent support

Jasmeet, was quick to respond, very friendly and helped us resolve technical issues with great competence. I've never written a review here so far but he really deserves the positive feedback! Thanks for the good service :)

An Absolute Sham

The app is awful. It takes forever to load or make a call. Their website is equally awful. My call-in number never worked, and when I tried to look up the details on my account, I could never even get them to load on the website. It showed no history of me subscribing to a number. I contacted them via email, and each time I received some vague reply several days later. I eventually gave up and assumed my attempt to use their service had failed. Now, today, I received a charge for "renewal fee" on my credit card. WTF? I still can't get any details of my supposed account to appear on their website (following the link they provided in their email). I plan to protest the charge with my bank.

I had a very positive experience with Sonetel’s customer support. Priya was very professional, and very helpful throughout the verification process. The communication was clear and quick. I really appreciate the assistance and would be happy to recommend Sonetel.

Got to go

After initial hiccups in the setting up, it was smooth sailing. The support team and customer service is extremely helpful and polite. Would definitely recommend.

Outstanding customer service and support

I recently signed up with Sonetel for my new business and I have to say the customer service experience was outstanding. From the support team to the verification team everyone was incredibly helpful, patient and professional. The communication throughout the entire process was excellent and every issue I encountered was resolved quickly and clearly. I was guided through each step with care and genuine helpfulness. Special mention to the support team member whose name I believe was Amala who went above and beyond. If you are a small business looking for a reliable virtual phone number solution I highly recommend Sonetel. The service and the people behind it are first class.
