“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.

When I first encountered Direct Unlocks online I was somewhat skeptical based on experiences with other online companies in the past but I can assure you that every step of the process occurred exactly as they had laid out. Today I downloaded an e-sim for Verizon to a phone that was previously locked to T-Mobile.

Reason I chose this business:

They clearly laid out how the process worked and what would happen each step of the way.

Reason I chose this product:

I wanted to add a second phone to my account but the phone was unfortunately locked to a different carrier.

This was a successful experience and I like the response to getting my codes unlocked for my old phone. The wait time could've been better though.

Reason I chose this business:

I sold my old phone and needed the unlock code to let it work with a different network.

Reason I chose this product:

It was the only reasonable choice at the time.

Customer Service R. – Direct Unlocks Rep

Hi Travis,

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad to hear the service was great and quick. I understand your concern about the two separate charges.

Just to clarify, all costs are outlined on the checkout page prior to purchase. Here's a brief explanation:

1. **Eligibility Check (€13.49)** - This is to assess whether your phone can be unlocked.
2. **Standard Unlock (€57)** - This is the actual fee to unlock your phone.

I appreciate your suggestion, and I'll certainly pass it along to improve our service transparency. I'm happy that you chose us and that we could help you get your phone ready for Poland!

Best regards,
Charlotte

Received email stating my phone "qualified" under their service. They then charged an additional $50 unlock fee. When the phone could not be unlocked, there was no refund available. THIS IS a scam OPERATION. I REPORTED THEM TO FTC AND BBB. Other potential customers are advised to read all reviews carefully before considering this service.

Thumbnail of user jodys349
Customer Service R. – Direct Unlocks Rep

Hi Craig,

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way. I understand your frustration, especially after paying for the Eligibility Check and the unlock attempt. According to our [Refund Policy](sites link), if a device is hard-locked by the carrier, we issue a credit note instead of a refund. It appears this has happened in your case since your device is hard-locked.

The amount of work that goes into attempting an unlock is the reason we can't offer refunds in these instances, as detailed in our [Terms and Conditions](sites link).

I'd encourage you to use the credit note for a future unlocking service relevant to your needs, which covers any device and network.

If you have any further questions or issues, please let us know. We want to make sure you have a more positive experience moving forward.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best,
Charlotte

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your feedback! I understand your concerns about the payment process and potential extra costs for unlocking your iPhone XR. When you placed your order, the Eligibility Check fee of $28.99 and the Standard Unlock fee of $50 were clearly outlined on the checkout page. For all devices, including yours, it’s necessary to complete an Eligibility Check first, followed by the unlocking payment.

Since your order status is “Unlock Complete,” it seems everything has gone smoothly with your unlock process. If you're facing any ongoing issues, please let me know, and I’d be happy to help you resolve them!

Thanks for choosing us!

Hi Bouthaina,

Thank you for sharing your experience. I understand you're facing issues with unlocking your iPhone 15 Pro Max after making your payments. You've paid €26.99 for the Eligibility Check and €33 for the Standard Unlock, and your order status shows "Unlock Complete."

If the IMEI is blacklisted by the network in Tunisia, unfortunately, we cannot provide a refund for any services rendered as stated in our policy. We recommend double-checking the device's compatibility and status with Tunisie Telecom, as well as ensuring there are no other network restrictions in place.

We're here to help, so feel free to reach out if you have more questions!
