“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.

Very happy with the service. In one moment I doubt the reliability when they request the second payment, but everything right with the unlocked.

It charges twice and the first payment is just to show the status of the cell phone. It costs more than a new cell phone.

The unlock was very quick. All I had to do was give the IMEI number and the rest was history. I had to pay an additional fee as O2 charges more

All they do is steal your money, then no refund, and they certainly do not unlock your iPhone either.

They advertise that they can unlock your phone. But when they can't they will not contact you back, and keep your money.

This is a MEGA SCAM page! They try to catch you with a low fee... then ask for more, then say it's blacklisted and ask for even more... then gone!

They did not provide unlock code during expected time frame in which I paid for. When asked for a refund, they did not refund.

Paid £26 for nothing was unable to open phone needed to open phone and was advised by ee to use web page and direct unlock

Not useful and I am still out of pocket ! I consider this completely unsatisfactory and a rip off. I have mistakenly given 5 stars and it should be 000

It was supposed to cost $30 to unclock my iphone.
But after I paid $30. It said I need to pay more $50 to unclock it.
