Customer focus Sonetel company
As a retiree I'm a frequent traveler therefore I needed a second phone number to get my sms messages. SONETEL was good to give that Peasure and need. It took few seconds to complete the form pay the subscription online and boom . I'm done Thank you SONETEL phone company. Continue the good work. Thank you.
Excellent support and very helpful team
I needed a second European mobile number with SMS support for verification purposes. Kiran was incredibly patient and professional throughout the whole process. Even when one country had regulatory issues, he quickly cancelled it, refunded the balance and guided me to the right solution (Netherlands mobile number). The number activated instantly and works perfectly.
Sonetel is reliable, easy to use and the customer service is outstanding. Highly recommended!

The support team was fast to answer my questions, thank you for your support !
Waste of time
Extremely time consuming to get started. Needing extensive verification for the company and you as a private individual. Going so far as to requiring a selfie with your passport. God knows where this information ends up. Only to receieve:
"I’m really sorry to share that the activation of your number was unfortunately declined by our provider. They haven’t shared any specific reasons for the rejection, which I understand can feel unclear — and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
If you're looking to get started with a sales team using this I would highly discourage from it.
Thank you Sonia D.
Regulation Associate Sonia D. has been a big help to me, when I needed it the most. Thank you Sonia for your help, I genuinely appreciate your help. Great Job Sonetel Customer Service.
Top-Tier Support and Reliable Solutions
"I’ve found Sonetel to be an incredibly valuable app. What stands out the most is the company’s support team, they are very accommodating and professional. Over the past few few weeks, I’ve had many requests and questions, and they have been extremely responsive, answering everything clearly and quickly. Whenever I encountered an issue with my account, they provided a direct solution immediately. It’s rare to find an app with such a dedicated support team. Highly recommended!"

Excellent experience with Sonetel! I needed a virtual number for my business, and the setup was quick, seamless, and incredibly affordable.
fast and reliable customer service
Sonetel is a scam company do not use
Sonetel is a scam company do not use them. I had a service setup with them for years without issue. Then i stopped receiving calls from that number. I tried to login to the account but i was unable, after trying multiple times I contacted support and eventually they got me back into the account. I saw a ton of phone numbers that were not mine and immediately started to cancel them. Unfortunately Sonetel billed me for each of those numbers that were not mine. I notified them of the incorrect billing on the account and asked for a refund but the staff were not willing to refund me
Customer Service

Customer service is really good,fast response and very wiling to help. A lot of options honestly.their numbers are diverse and very affordable. Great experience so far and it's all worth it!!
4th day of installing it and then…
4th day of installing it and then paying and sending documents and still cannot use it. The costumer supports is a waste of time. They are telling me they don’t accepts the UK energy bill that the UK government accepts. They don’t even accept my driving licence which has got my address on it as a proof. It’s a waste of time and they will also charge you for the free trial that they offer at the start. You cannot use their services unless you have a paid monthly or annual subscription with them. It’s not only getting a phone number. It’s only the start …
It's simple to use
It's simple to use, easy to operate, stable, and has clear sound; it's a great software.
Everything was great!!!
Everything was great; we needed to get Phone Numbers too fast; and SONETEL make it possible!!!
Good Support and Resolution, Transparency Could Be Improved
I initially experienced an issue during my purchase, but I’m happy to say that the refund process was handled correctly and the balance was returned without any problems. Thank you for resolving it.
That said, I would like to share a constructive suggestion. For a service like Sonetel that operates globally and handles telecom services, trust and transparency are critical—especially when it comes to payments and identity verification.
It could be beneficial to clearly communicate (ideally on the homepage) how user verification, privacy, and data protection are handled. Highlighting GDPR compliance and working with well-known third-party identity verification providers (such as Sumsub, Onfido, or similar) would significantly increase user confidence and reduce friction during onboarding.
Making these processes more transparent not only builds trust but can also improve conversion rates and reduce support load.
Overall, I appreciate the resolution and hope to see continued improvements in transparency and user trust.
