“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.”

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.

They said $30, then after that wanted $50, a few days later they now want more AND to remote in. SCAM.

Tip for consumers:
They don't respond to emails and although they say they have 24/7 customer service, that's a lie. They just kept asking for more money without even answering my questions.

Products used:
Tried cell phone unlock, but it's a scam.

This site is scam.

This was exact email I got, after i paid

Dear Pankaj Lamsal

Thanks for purchasing a pre-ordering service from OfficialiPhoneUnlock. As promised, we would inform you when the iCloud unlock was available and give you the opportunity to be placed on the priority unlocking queue.

To complete your purchase and get iCloud unlocked within 1-5 working days (excl. Weekends) simply use the following link:... They provided the link... to add more money

We cannot refund pre-orders due to the cost of providing the service, as stated on our homepage. However, if no further payment is made by yourself we will not proceed with the unlocking and no more payment will be due.

Kind regards

Stephanie
Operations Manager
Official iPhone Unlock a division of DataCorp Ltd

And,
Refunds

Once your unlock has been "Submitted to Supplier" we cannot then cancel and refund. Pre-Orders cannot be refunded.
If, however, the unlock comes back as unavailable (apart from blocked or incorrect network reasons), you will be refunded in full.

It worked on my galaxy s21. Does take longer than expected. Downside is, it doesn't get rid of the carrier intros or sponsored apps

Hello All, I would suggest to work with your carrier provider to unlock the phone. I tried mine and find they are asking more price.

Apart from the slightly longer wait than expected, but I think more down to vodaphone, my iPhone was unlocked and my tesco SIM card worked straightaway without any problems, very pleased!
