Direct Unlock provided excellent service! They unlocked my phone quickly and efficiently, delivering results in less time than expected. The process was smooth and hassle-free, with great customer support throughout. I highly recommend them for anyone needing a fast and reliable phone unlocking service. Absolutely worth it!

Top Critical Review

“Absolutely pathetic.”

Took over 20 DAYS to unlock! And spent the 100 to get it unlocked immediately. And bc of the longest waiting time. I now have unlocked my phone for no reason. So direct unlock wasted my time and my money. Sent multiple emails stating that the almost month wait was too much, and wanted a refund but was declined! 0/10. Had to put one star just to even write this review but that's the only reason I put one star. Highly disappointed and definitely not satisfied.

My story is,

I ordered unlock for my iPhone 6 plus towards the end of Dec 2015, I paid for the pre-order 19.99 GBP and then 30.00 GBP.
Then they came back after few weeks saying that my iphone was still under contract and they cannot unlock and also they cannot refund as they already prepared the unlock but I could use my credit against any other unlock.
They also mentioned that I can order for a more expensive Any Network Unlock that will unlock my phone under contract too.

I emailed them couple of times asking if I cancelled the contract, will they be able to unlock but received no reply.
And then I went ahead cancelled my contract and waited for over a month for it to be out of contract in independent IME checking websites.

And finally when my same iphone was out of contract, I placed pre-order and paid 19.99 from the credit I had from before and they emailed me after few hours asking me to pay full amount and they asked me to pay £65.00 (1-15days unlock delivery). Just 2 months ago, the total amount was GBP 49.99 and now the total was GBP 84.99 for the same iphone.

I emailed them many many times asking why was the total different and if they could unlock with what I paid earlier, but I didnot receive any reply at all. And I had 1 week to pay the remaining to process the unlock otherwise I would loose all I paid plus not get the iphone unlocked either.

Then I googled the validity of official iphone unlock and came across stories in this website and others.
Then I found out that they are pure scammers and have scammed many people with stories similar as mine.

Then finally I send them an email saying they are fraud and scammers and unless they refund my money or unlock my iphone with what I already paid, I will claim to my bank and card company and go to police if needed.
And also work with online community who they have cheated to spread the word that they are fake.

Immediately after I send this kind of email, they replied back saying THEY WILL REFUND MY MONEY AND THEY REFUNDED TOO... I am now very happy that I got my money back... and I bought a new sim free iphone to prevent all the hassles.
