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.

Hello all, OfficialiPhoneUnlock, it's a SCAM, don't buy it, you pay £19.99 and 24 hours later they ask you more money.

After I paid what they ask for, they asked for 100$ more to release the lock. This is a scam. Be careful

They hide the fact that they will charge you, then they won't unlock until you pay them more.

Yep, scam. Or at the very least very dishonest

They start by charging $28 to unlock - but end up charging another $70 to complete the unlock. What a scam!

Customer Service R. – Direct Unlocks Rep

Hello Alberto Rodriguez Cabello,

Thank you for reaching out. I’m really sorry to hear about the confusion with your Galaxy A14 5G unlock process. From your message, it seems there was a concern regarding the unlock method for your T-Mobile USA device.

Your Galaxy model was successfully unlocked through the Remote USB Unlock method, since, as you mentioned, your phone does not ask for an unlocking code – a situation explicitly mentioned as requiring the Remote USB Unlock.

I understand this might not have been what you expected initially, but this method is necessary for devices that do not prompt for an unlock code. I'm pleased to inform you that your order status is "Unlock Complete," which means your phone should now be network-free and ready to use with other carriers.

If you are facing any issues after the process or need further assistance on how to make the most of your now unlocked phone, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help ensure a positive experience for you.

Best regards,

Charlotte

Beware Official iphone unlock and its website TRUSTMARK reviews are a scam, they ask you to wait, and say your UNLOCK is ready, but want extra payment. This is never completed and NO REFUND.
