“Very easy timely and effective.”

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.”

Nate A.
9/17/24

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.

Fue un buen servicio, duró un poco en validar la liberación pero después de los 8 días quedó listo. Se hacen 2 pagos: una para revisa que tu celular es elegible a desbloquear, si es correcto, procedes al 2 pago. Yo lo realicé con iPhone 15 pro.

Reason I chose this business:

Por los comentarios de la página.

Reason I chose this product:

IPhone 11 I needed to unlock so I can pass it down to a family member. First time using this site and it was great.

First payment is just to check
Second payment is to actually unlock once they check if everything's good with the device. Quick, easy and it WORKS!

I'm not going to lie…I was super skeptical at first because the process took so long but after about a week my phone was unlocked & now it works perfectly! If you're like me just trust the process! It's a legit service & you will not be disappointed. I would recommend the service to anyone.

Reason I chose this business:

I needed to unlock my phone because I had just left a previous carrier but my sim was still connected to them.

Direct unlock will ask you for a small amount. Which is around $29us at the beginning and then the rest of the money? After checking the background of the phone and then they do the action to provide the code it took me one day and half.

Reason I chose this business:

I choose the direct unlock one of my friend recommended me to it and I have no regrets
of it. Less then a day and a half a got my code when It says it that we're gonna send it in three days pretty easy. Super happy..

This product is the best and I will never change it for another product. Thank you very much Very satisfied...

I'm always skeptical. I'm not much for taking someone's word. I went into business with a guy I worked with for years. He started the phone plan and within a few short years the company went under. He had faulted on the contract and I tried multiple stores to pay the phone off in cash or card it didn't matter. All failed attempts because it wasn't my account and I wasn't taking over the whole account.

Reason I chose this business:

I searched several sites and direct unlocks highest rating and more believed to be “real reviews” led me to finalize my decision and pull the trigger.

Reason I chose this product:

Wanted phone unlocked.

Misleading and unethical business…
Misleading and unethical business practices. Milk your money by misleading victims. You think you're getting your phone unlocked for a small fee (28.99$) upfront. Then you get ask to be charge again for another stage ($50) and then another stage ($689.93 and they say they can reduce to 315$) with ridiculous amount of money to unlock. Hell, I can buy a new unlocked phone (iphone 11) for less than what they charging me to get it unlocked.

Nothing but scams. Stay far away. And if you don't want to pay to continue the unlock, they don't refund your money, but hold your money hostage as a credit for future use. No thanks. Karma is coming.

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear that you feel this way about your recent experience. The costs associated with unlocking are indeed outlined during the checkout process, and I'm sorry if this wasn't clear. As per our terms:

All our prices and costs are designed to reflect the complexity and time required to unlock different types of phones and carriers. We understand that the multiple stages of payment can be frustrating and your feedback is valued.

We'd love the opportunity to turn around your experience. If you'd like us to look into your case more deeply, please use the Live Support feature on your tracking page so we can help resolve your issue promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and we hope to assist you further.
