I didn't think it would actually work but after a a few days I'm using my phone now.
I was kind of concerned about that Reviews, But they get it Done for Real I'm very satisfied with their work 🏾🏼
It was too much work to explain to people what I needed done, know if they were trustworthy or not. I found this site and read the reviews. So worth it. So easy.
It was smooth and pleasant. I never had an easier time working with technology as I have had today!
I had a phone that needed to be unlocked and T-Mobile wouldn't do it for me directly, despite it being on the T-Mobile network for over a year. Direct Unlocks was able to unlock it in less than 24 hours, when another company couldn't do it. It was a little more expensive than other companies, but they were able to compete the effort where others fell short. Kudos to them!

I had a locked & blacklisted phone according to the previous mobile company. But these guys were able to unlock the phone and I easily transferred my service to it as soon as I received the confirmation email. It took about 2 days, but it was worth it! I didn't hv to purchase a new phone. Just used old iPhone I already had!

This service does work, but has a 30% success ratio. But this has worked for me a few times, and also has not

It was alot quicker then I thought it would be I'd recommend this place to all who need a phone or android device unlocked
I feel like at first It would be sketchy and I would have to call my carrier and wait for a lock code and all that stuff. I bought my phone used so I wanted to unlock it to use networks because I am always on the go.
I was a little skeptical aswell of the fees but as soon as it said that I needed to wait a while I had hope! I genuinely love the speed of this service. I bought this a few days ago and it came to me today! Now my phone is unlocked from the previous carrier (cricket wireless). I genuinely love the quality and how they are true to what they say; if it wasn't for them I would be on sketchy websites loosing money. I would definitely use Direct Unlocks again for any of my other phones and I hope you guys do too! I love this!

It took about 40 hours to get my locked Samsung Galaxy unlocked. No I have 3 different phone numbers with different carries (one traditional SIM and two eSIM). I am very happy the unlock worked.

I paid the initial fee for eligiblity (My phone was eligible) and then the 2nd payment for the unlocking fee on October 10th 2024. The status of my unlocking has been at 99% for over 4 months now and I am always the one initiating contact for a status. Directunlocks.com will respond with the same thing every time! They are exhausting all efforts and if they are unable to unlock my phone, they will refund my money. However, when is it determined that all efforts are exhausted? Who makes that decision? I've received no answers or updates at this point. It really seems like they just drag this process out so you give up and they keep your money.
They have now stopped allowing me to use the live support feature on their site. They are making it more difficult to contact them in the hopes that I give up and they can steal my money.
Do not use this company for unlocking services! SCAM!
In spite of Telus taking their time and stalling the unlock… they persevered and went to Apple directly and sim was unlocked the next day! Very happy with the service.
Hi Margo, I'm really happy to hear your phone was unlocked and that you're pleased with the outcome—even with that extra delay from Telus. Thanks for sharing your experience, and enjoy your unlocked iPhone 7 Plus!
Took a few days but they got it done. This is the third phone they've unlocked for me, too. I will more than likely bring a few more.
Had good service and was an easy process. Everything went smooth unlocking my phone. Definitely use again in the future
I would give the service a 5 star but I had to end up paying an extra 186 dollars for them to unlock the SIM card, plus it did take a while about a week and a half total to unlock, the service does work like it says but it is not quick.
Hi Kyle, thanks for the fantastic 5 stars and for sharing your experience. I understand it can be frustrating to pay for multiple components—the Eligibility Check, Standard Unlock, and Premium Service all have their specific costs, which are outlined on the checkout page before purchase. Sometimes network unlock times can take longer than expected, but I'm really glad everything worked as it should in the end. Thanks for your patience and your trust in our service!
It took less than six hours to unlock all carriers. This was a quick and easy process. I'm very satisfied and would definitely recommend it!
Hi Walter, thanks so much for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled to hear your iPhone 14 Pro Max was unlocked quickly and efficiently. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Enjoy your phone, and if you need anything further, just let us know!
It's quick and delivered as promised, unlike other service provider.

So in this modern world we expect an instant fix, howerer this was not the case for my cheap Chinese mobile. The whole process was about five hours, also two payments were taken one for eligability and the other for the actual unlock. Now it is completed I am delighted that I am free to choose my own sim.
Dear Mr. Thompson,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We truly appreciate your patience throughout the unlocking process. We're glad to hear that your Huawei P Smart is now unlocked, and you're delighted with the ability to choose your own SIM.
As you've noted, the two payments are necessary—£23.99 for the Eligibility Check and £26 for the Unlock itself—both of which are outlined at checkout. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Enjoy your newfound freedom with your phone!
Best regards,
Charlotte
