“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.”

Nate A.
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.

I was skeptical at first. But decided to give a try. We'll it worked as expected. Still have a contract with AT& T, which the wanted $999.95 to unlock my phone. So do the math to see the difference.
Strongly recommend Directunlock. Will recommend to family.

Customer service (Anna) was great in explaining in details tge process.

Reason I chose this business:

Just need my phone unlocked since I'm traveling overseas.

I was pleased to say that despite my misgivings I did use this company to unlock my iPhone. Initially the 11.99 went out and the checks were done. I was then requested to pay £26.99 for the actual unlock. I was unsure of this and was thinking if it was a scam. I raised a support ticket and an explanation given. 20mins after paying my phone was unlocked and feee to use.

Prompt with full explanation

Reason I chose this business:

Convienient to do online.

I was VERY unsure about using this company but I can honestly say I'm super happy and excited about my experience with them and will definitely be utilizing their products in the future!

Fast, friendly and thorough service that was very helpful and offered explanations for everything!

Reason I chose this business:

I google’d companies that offer third-party unlocking services and found Direct Unlocks, and had seen reviews about it on YouTube.

Reason I chose this product:

At first I was trying to bypass the activation lock on an iPad I had purchased from someone but was told it has been tagged as lost in the Apple system due to the FM app. But they credited my account for the $100 I spent and I used the credit to network unlock my phone. It took only minutes and I’m super happy! And I still have a credit remaining on my account!

Fue un buen servicio, duró un poco en validar la liberación pero después de los 8 días quedó listo. Se hacen 2 pagos: una para revisa que tu celular es elegible a desbloquear, si es correcto, procedes al 2 pago. Yo lo realicé con iPhone 15 pro.

IPhone 11 I needed to unlock so I can pass it down to a family member. First time using this site and it was great.

First payment is just to check
Second payment is to actually unlock once they check if everything's good with the device. Quick, easy and it WORKS!

Direct unlock will ask you for a small amount. Which is around $29us at the beginning and then the rest of the money? After checking the background of the phone and then they do the action to provide the code it took me one day and half.

Reason I chose this business:

I choose the direct unlock one of my friend recommended me to it and I have no regrets
of it. Less then a day and a half a got my code when It says it that we're gonna send it in three days pretty easy. Super happy..
