The service was quick and professional. The information on the webpage regarding the options is a bit confusing sometimes. And some pages I could not open.

One person's willingness to help made all the difference…

A very frustrating verification process was made less so by Sonia, who worked closely with me to get my verification documents submitted. Her patience and willingness to troubleshoot a submission issue changed my opinion of Sonetel completely - from negative to extremely positive. In a nutshell, Sonia provided excellent customer car.

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!

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.

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!"

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

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 …
