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.

I bought the unlock on Feb 6th. 2020, I paid for the Fast track service, and so far my phone has not been unlocked. They do not answer e-mail and do not refund the amount. Thieves.
(Comprei o desbloqueio em 06 de fev. 2020, paguei pelo pelo serviço Fast track, e até agora o meu telefone não foi desbloqueado. Não respondem e-mail e não restituem o valor. Ladrões.)

I have used this service before, even though it's not the cheapest they always get the job done and communicate well.

Would use again in the future.

I was satisfied with your company. After day and half my old IPhone was ready for any telephone carrier.

Reason I chose this business:

It pop up on Google when I search for unlock choice.

Reason I chose this product:

I need unlocked old IPhone for use in different phone carriers in Europe.

AVOID - Extremely MISLEADING services. If you're looking to get your iPhone un-barred from a UK carrier's list of lost/stolen phones then AVOID this company. Do not pay anything. Faux services. They said they could unlock and un-barr my iPhone from a UK network but this was untrue. I asked for a refund, they then sent an email "guaranteeing" that if I paid more money I would have the iPhone un-barred and it would definitely, but guess what, It did NOT. In the email they said that if it did not work after paying the additional 2nd fee, they would then be able to offer me a full refund. Thus, again I asked for a full refund and after many weeks of getting a response, they say that because the phone is indeed unlocked (free to use any SIM), they believe they have done their job. But my phone was already unlocked (free to use any SIM) before I even approached this company. I was wrongly missold their services from the 1st payment (let alone again on the 2nd payment to them), under the belief that my phone would become un-barred from the UK carrier's iphone list. I just want my money back. I asked many times. Sending several emails expressing how I just want a refund because I was wrongly miss sold (a bit like PPI!). If you're looking to get your iPhone un-barred from a UK carrier's list of lost/stolen phones then AVOID this company. Do not pay anything. SCAMMERS

Tip for consumers:
Don't get scammed. Don't use this site. Save your hard earned money.

Purchased iPhone unlock service from Official iPhone unlock on 07/30/2016, I have not heard from the company since my purchase and it has been over 6 months. I tried to get a refund from the company directly and through Nochex, which is the payment processor for Official iPhone unlock. This is the response that I got from Nochex:

The Merchant responded to advise that unfortunately, you have purchased a pre order only, This means that a refund is not possible in accordance with their Terms and Conditions as the service has been provided. Please have a look at Official iPhone unlock terms and conditions.

There is a link to Trustmark reviews on the home page of Official iPhone unlock's website. I used these reviews to make my buying decision from Official iPhone unlock. I submitted a review to Trustmark reviews but never seen the review published on there website, so I emailed them because I wanted to know why my review for Official iPhone unlock does not show up on their site. Also, I wanted to know if they were owned by Official iPhone unlock. I have never received a response from trustmark reviews to this date.

If you are considering purchasing iPhone unlock service from Official iPhone unlock, please do a google search of reviews for Official iPhone unlock and compare them to the reviews on Official iPhone unlock from the link on Official iPhone unlock's website. Just comparing the information along, should help you make a more informative buying decision.
