“Received a credit top up within a minute of paying through their site”

Laura M.
5/16/23

I had been struggling to top up my Orange France number since the Orange FR website only accepts French bank cards as payment method (pure nonsense). I had been going back and forth for weeks with their (useless) customer care representatives who kept taking 4-5 days to respond and then finally sent me off to buy a data plan when I needed credit. Finally found this site to buy my credit from and it worked exactly as needed. I normally don't leave reviews, but figured I would on this occasion since their seems to be a lot of bad ones here and I had a very positive experience. I'll definitely be using them again.

“Paid and got nothing!”

I paid the money that you asked for but you never recharged my phone number. I checked with the service provider and they confirmed nothing was received. The receipt you sent me was also suspicious and is not recognized by the mobile phone company. Highly suspicious activity. I have reported that to your host, and to cloudflare. The attached image is your suspicious receipt. Hotlink never issued that!

Top marks all around. I was initially hesitant as I had never unlocked a phone before however after checking the competition I felt most comfortable using DoctorSim. The website is well laid out and easy to use. Price is good and the turn around was much quicker than I expected. I can now use my phone with any network. Well done!

Tip for consumers:
Just go for it, you won't regret it!

I had many bumps in the road with my DoctorSim UMS which required some patience, but at every corner the customer success peeps had a solution. It was refreshing to have a reply saying "please let us know *when* you've had success" rather than *if* you've had success with one of the suggestions they provided. Purely because of the great service, I would suggest DoctorSim to anyone who might need it!

Bought my daughter an iphone from auction site in Australia. Found it it was carrier locked to Nextel in Mexico. US$40 and 12 hrs later DoctorSim had it unlocked and it's working fine. Cheaper than a trip to Mexico ;) Thanks!

It was my first time that my new phone (Xperia 1) came to me locked to another carrier. I didnt know what to do and I was really worried about the whole process of unlocking. It took one week for the code to be sent to me, but fortunately worked like a charm!

From start to finish it took less than 72 hours, I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 plus and I know it was not an easy task to find a solution, but they did and fast, I definitely would recommend this service to anyone.

At first, I was really scared if I was going to get scammed and get my money stolen, but no, DoctorSim provided me great service at a very low price, compared other prices. Plus, they sent me the unlocking code the day after I ordered it! I'm so thankful, so if you need to get your phone unlocked at a low price, check out DOCTORSIM

They do the job, very satisfied with their unlock service.
Moreover, they are cheaper than many other similar services.

Got my phone unlocked via USB in about 20 min with no complications. Thought it was kind of pricey, but was definitely worth every penny.

Hello Pawesh,

Thank you very much for trusting in our top-up service.

I have just reviewed your top-up request and I verify that it was applied correctly: in fact we sent you a proof of it and we received from you the recharge confirmation message from the company that was recharged.

The fact that the recharge receivers cannot connect to roaming may be due to the settings of the terminal itself (it must have roaming connectivity activated).

In recent days we have not received more information from you, was the incident finally resolved? If not, please contact us again so we can find the best solution for you.

Please contact us for any doubt, we are here to help.

Carolina García,
DoctorSIM Product Manager.

Hi Chris,

As explained by email, we have successfully network unlocked your cell phone.

Unfortunately, you are unable to use it on another network because it has been blacklisted by the original carrier. As explained in our terms and conditions, we are unable to issue refunds under these circumstances.

Once you've resolved the issue with the original carrier, you'll be able to use your phone on the network of your choice.

Best regards,
Anne
