“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.

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! Can't stress this enough! Really awful and dishonest service. Don't ever use it! You will most likely be scammed! I used service AFTER I read the bad reviews, so i checked for the all-famous two paymants (pre-order and only then actual unlock) but still after i paid i received email that i ordered a preorder and will have to pay for actual unlock later. But still everything not in direct language and not clear. After some while i received that now i have to pay 29.99. Afer my colpaints they RAISED the price to 64.99 and won't even reply! Plus when raising the new price they write that this has been the price all along from the biggining which is clear lie and can be proven with email. Bank can't realy help me with refund atm as the comapny have made it so i can't prove their fault. But i will try again about the change of price and fraudulent statements. Funny thing is - you have to give information yourself about your phones model, imei, network it is locked to, blacklist status and have to agree that it is correct and if wrong you get no refund. AND then it turns out you also pre-ordered(paid) the compay to find that information for you! After you gave it yourself and signed it's correct! Of course they don't reply about that! AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!

Hello Jaziel,

Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience with us. It's great to hear that a friend recommended our services to you, and we hope that the quality of our unlocking process met your expectations.

As for your payments, the $28.99 you paid was for the Eligibility Check to verify that your iPhone 6S Plus could be unlocked from Verizon USA. The subsequent $50 payment was for the Standard Unlock service itself. Our pricing structure is designed to be transparent, with all costs outlined on our checkout page prior to purchase, ensuring that you are fully aware of the service fees involved.

Seeing as your order status is "Unlock Complete," it seems like everything went smoothly with your unlocking process! Now, your iPhone should be ready to use on other compatible networks.

If you have any further needs or questions, feel free to reach out to us – we're here to help ensure you have a positive experience.

Warm regards,
Charlotte

I ordered my unlock code from OfficialPhoneUnlock on the 30th November, for an iPhone 5 locked to O2. On Dec 4th I received an e-mail from OfficialPhoneUnlock that my IMEI number was with their code suppliers and would update me on progress. On the 8th of Dec I finally received my unlock code, according to my reckoning (not including the weekend) this was actually 7days to get my unlock code 3 and a half times the 24-48hrs suggested on the website. I admit that this is merely a guide, but and this is where I did get annoyed, once you have submitted your IMEI number there is no going back. You cannot cancel and you cannot get a refund, unless your code comes back wrong!
With this in mind I would think twice about submitting my phone for unlock using this service. Whilst waiting for my unlock code I did find another site which Giff Gaff recommend and they charge half the price. I find that being tied to a supplier of a service that provides no recourse of action until you receive your goods, when they advertise a specified time for that service, a touch misleading. Read the small print don't get suckered in by the headlines!

Primero te pide un pago de 28 dólares para saber si es posible el desbloqueo, luego de que verifican esta información te piden un pago de 50 dólares por un bloqueo standard y luego a los pocos días te piden un pago premium de 300 dólares lo cual me dio mucha desconfianza sin embargo me animé a pagarlos porque necesitaba el teléfono, a los pocos días me llegó el mensaje de que tenía el teléfono desbloqueado y funcionó bien. Considero el pago premium es costoso y si sumamos lo que ya se había pagado, pues aumenta

Les comuniqué de que necesitaba un reembolso y me dijeron que no se podía que me dejaban un crédito para otro producto

Reason I chose this business:

Porque no sabía de otra opción

Reason I chose this product:

No tenía elección

Hola Tatiana, gracias por compartir tus comentarios con nosotros. Me alegra saber que su iPhone 12 Pro Max se ha desbloqueado correctamente y funciona bien. Entiendo sus preocupaciones con respecto a los costos involucrados en el proceso de desbloqueo. Como se describe en la información que se le proporcionó durante el proceso de pago y en nuestros términos, el pago de $28,99 fue para la verificación de elegibilidad para garantizar que su teléfono pudiera desbloquearse. El pago de $50 fue por el servicio de desbloqueo estándar. En algunos casos, los teléfonos pueden requerir un Servicio Premium, por el cual has pagado $285, para completar el proceso de desbloqueo exitosamente. Nuestro objetivo es ser transparentes con los costos de nuestros servicios, que se detallan en la página de pago antes de la compra. El Servicio Premium por el que optó es fundamental para ciertos desbloqueos de redes, particularmente para dispositivos bloqueados en redes como AT&T USA. Aunque el costo puede parecer alto, implica procesos más complejos para garantizar un desbloqueo exitoso, especialmente para los últimos modelos como tu iPhone 12 Pro Max. Con respecto al reembolso, según nuestra política mencionada en nuestros términos y condiciones, los pagos realizados por los Servicios de Verificación de Elegibilidad y Desbloqueo no son reembolsables una vez que los servicios se hayan brindado exitosamente. Sin embargo, si necesita servicios de desbloqueo en el futuro, el crédito ofrecido puede utilizarse para ellos, ofreciendo un valor adicional a su inversión inicial. Apreciamos que haya elegido nuestro servicio para desbloquear su iPhone y sepa que estamos comprometidos a brindar una solución confiable a nuestros clientes. Si tiene más consultas o necesita ayuda con otro dispositivo en el futuro, no dude en comunicarse. Saludos cordiales, Equipo de atención al cliente de Charlotte

Don't bother with these scam merchants. You may as well send £19.99 to me to go out on a piss up.
