“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.

Blood and money suckers. This company takes your money and asks for more to give you the unlock code.

I have been shopping around to unlock my iPhone. I have used their services - initially, I have paid $29.00, then I have been requested another $45.00. So far, so good. MOST LIKELY YOU WILL NEED PREMIUM SERVICE, AND THEY DON'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH DOES THAT COST INITIALLY! The thing is that I wasn't made aware that the Premium would cost $242.00, otherwise I would have never proceeded forward. I have been quoted with a total of $250 to go to a store and get it unlocked. Their services cost more for me, hence, I am not willing to pay a total of $300 simply because I have been offered a better rate - the whole point of trying to unlock it online was to SAVE MONEY. I personally feel deceived - not to mention the fact I am not provided with a refund to a card option. I want my phone unlocked - I don't need to get credit for their website only, because I don't plan to get another phone anytime soon, and with all seen so far, I wouldn't want to use their service again.

How can I get my $74.00 back - this is a deceiving business practice - not being made aware what the total cost would be.

The service was great. The only uncertainty I felt was due to the duration it took to unlock the iPhone!
