What is Sonetel?
Sonetel sells business phone numbers in cities and countries around the world. Calls to your number ring in the Sonetel app for iPhone and Android, or forward to your mobile or any other phone, so you don't need a second SIM. Some number types can also send and receive SMS.
Outbound calls work from the mobile or web app. On paid plans, once your identity is verified, those calls can show your business number. Paid plans also include free calls to 40+ countries. The Premium and Business plans add call recording with written summaries, a 1–5 score for each customer call, suggested follow-up emails, transcribed voicemail and a voice menu (IVR).
Sonetel AB launched the service in 2009 and is listed on Nasdaq First North in Stockholm. It reports 34,000+ paying businesses in 170 countries. It suits entrepreneurs and small teams that want a local presence abroad.
