Didn't work!
December 5, 2015

Although I have been told my phone has been unlocked, it hasn't. I'm still waiting for a response to an email I sent stating that it hasn't worked. Very disappointed!

I paid 30$ to unlock my iphone only to realize after 3 days from an email that this was only the pre-order(that can't be refunded), then they asked for 50 $ more (but can be refunded in case of unlock failure) to unlock my iphone, I paid it and waited 17 days only to receive an unlock failure message due to the phone being lost/stolen..., and they said non of my money can be refunded, and I have to to use this money to unlock another iphone instead, well guess what?! I used it on my own iphone(after I did a restore to it) which I already have the apple id and password for, just wanted to try something, and after another half month, I receive a message that my iphone is lost/stolen... lol what?! You're kidding me right?! And when I tried a third Iphone which is also not lost/stolen, and I checked that on apple's site and cleancheck and it was *******% clean, this time there was a new excuse http://oi67.tinypic.com/e7zbc8.jpg

Awesome: Just pease of mind.
December 5, 2015

The service is just superb. You just enter your cell details, pay the affordable and cheap in town amount. That's all. Now just sit back and relax. You will get the conformation much earlier then promised time frame and you are all set.

This is one of the best site and service i have got for my multiple unlocks.

Good experience!
December 4, 2015

Apart from the slightly longer wait than expected, but I think more down to vodaphone, my iPhone was unlocked and my tesco SIM card worked straightaway without any problems, very pleased!

Very quick
December 4, 2015

Was advised there would be a delay of up to 12 days as my carrier was Vodafone. This was completed in just over a week. No problems and was updated regularly what was happening. I didn't have to plug my phone into iTunes it did it over my mobile data. Great service

Long and expensive
December 4, 2015

Their site web says the unlock price is 19£, but it's just a pre order price. I had to pay a extra of 49£ to continuer the process: O
The processing time was much longer than what they say on the site.
Almost un month!
I'll never make any order with them.

Thank goodn as I found this site
December 4, 2015

Had trouble getting AT&T to unlock this phone that I had inherited from a friend. Even the friend couldn't get it unlocked. This service helped and I'm glad I found it. My unlock took longer than usual, a few days in fact. Wish I had gotten some email updates as I was anxious to know what was taking so long. When I did get an email it was saying my phone was unlocked and it worked with the SIM card over a wifi connection just like the instructions said in the email. So even though it took longer than expected they did exactly what they said and I'm happy.

Excellent service
December 4, 2015

I had moved to Australia and had my I phone locked to Vodafone UK. I tried numerous ways of getting the phone unlocked but to no avail. Someone recommended this site to me and I'm glad they did. The whole process took five days but I was kept informed throughout. I am very pleased with the service.
