“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.”

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.

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!

Dear Perla Montalvo,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I understand that there may have been some confusion regarding the services we offer.

I'm pleased to inform you that your order status is now "Unlock Complete". This means your iPhone 11 Pro should now be unlocked from the Verizon USA network, and you can start using it with other carriers!

To address your concerns about the payment process, here’s a quick overview: You’ve paid $28.99 for the Eligibility Check and $50.00 for the Standard Unlock. All these costs were outlined on the checkout page before you made your purchase.

Regarding the device's status, our service does not unlock blacklisted or blocked phones. As per our terms, "*If a handset is reported lost or stolen (or abused), it may well be 'Blacklisted' (also known as 'Blocked' or 'Barred'), preventing it from ever being used again... if we undertake an unlock and you find out the phone is in fact logged as lost, stolen or abused, we cannot then refund your payment.*" If your phone meets this criterion, it’s important to contact Verizon for further assistance.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. We hope you enjoy the freedom of your newly unlocked phone!

Best regards,
Charlotte

I recently used Direct Unlocks to unlock my smartphone, and overall, it was a positive experience. The process was straightforward and user-friendly, making it accessible even for those who are not very tech-savvy.

**Pros:**
1. **Ease of Use:** The website is well-designed and easy to navigate. The instructions provided for unlocking the phone were clear and concise.
2. **Customer Service:** The customer support team was responsive and helpful. They addressed my queries promptly and provided useful guidance throughout the process.
3. **Efficiency:** The unlocking process was relatively quick. I received the unlock code within the promised timeframe under 1 hour, and it worked without any issues.
4. **Security:** The service felt secure. I appreciated that Direct Unlocks emphasized the importance of data privacy and security throughout the transaction.

**Cons:**
1. **Cost:** While the service is effective, it is a bit on the pricier side compared to some other options available in the market. However, considering the quality of service, it seems justified.
2. **Occasional Delays:** Although my experience was smooth, I noticed some reviews mentioning occasional delays in receiving the unlock codes. This didn't affect me personally but might be something to consider.
3. **Limited Additional Features:** The service focuses solely on unlocking, which it does well. However, additional features or bundled services could enhance the overall value.

In conclusion, Direct Unlocks offers a reliable and efficient phone unlocking service. Despite being slightly expensive, the ease of use and excellent customer support make it a worthy choice. If you need to unlock your phone quickly and securely, Direct Unlocks is a solid option.

Reason I chose this business:

For the instant Code unlock no 24 hour waiting.

Reason I chose this product:

Because I needed them
