Misleading prices, but it worked.
November 2, 2024

I paid $6.99 for network check and then the site said "Unlock for $28.99" which I paid and was apparently just for an eligibility check. Then I paid $43 for the standard unlock. I spent 4 days waiting thinking I had been scammed due to the payment structure. Would recommend they are more transparent and provide a pricing table to start with.

My phone had a Europe EMEA Lock - and now is unlocked and works with my NZ sim. So great overall outcome.

Easy to follow instructions and fill in questions on the form. The only thing it cost me £50 to unlock my phone which I think was a bit steep and had to wait a hour. Going through EE wasn't much help or they wouldn't help. So much for customer service?

Dear Mrs. Towill,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! I'm glad to hear that you managed to get your Galaxy A12 unlocked, even though the cost was a bit surprising.

Just to clarify, the initial £23.99 for the Eligibility Check and the £26 for the Standard Unlock are necessary steps to ensure everything is correctly processed. We aim to be transparent about these costs on the checkout page.

I truly understand how frustrating it can be when you need support, and I'm sorry to hear that you felt let down by other services. We're dedicated to helping our customers, so if you have any further questions or need assistance with anything, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to serve you better in the future!

Best,
Charlotte

Great service
October 31, 2024

DirectUnlocks provided an absolutely seamless experience when I needed to unlock my phone from its carrier restrictions. Initially skeptical about online unlocking services, DirectUnlocks not only met but exceeded my expectations. The process was straightforward; after entering my phone's details and paying a reasonable fee, I received clear instructions and unlock codes promptly. What impressed me most was the speed – despite being quoted a few days, my phone was unlocked in under 48 hours, allowing me to switch carriers without any hassle. The customer support was commendable too, always ready to clarify any doubts with friendly efficiency. This service has truly empowered me to fully utilize my device's potential across different networks, and for that, I'm incredibly grateful. DirectUnlocks has not only unlocked my phone but also my trust in online unlocking services.

SCAM Direct unlock
October 28, 2024

SCAM SCAM SCAM

Hello,

I'm writing this review mainly to warn people who would like to unlock their phone on this platform.
It's a huge scam.
This is a huge scam.
I was in disarray on September 25 when Apple informed me that my phone, purchased in the United States from the operator, could not be unlocked in France, so I decided to look for a site that would allow me to unlock it. Despite the large number of bad reviews, I convinced myself that if some people had obtained positive results on this site, it might be my case. I then tried to unlock on direct unlock. First, they make you pay 26 euros for searches and other ok. Then they ask you to pay 44 euros for the classic unlocking fee, which I paid. A few hours later I'm told that the unlocking is more complex, so I have to upgrade to the 175 euro premium version. Having already paid 70 euros, I say to myself it's no problem, I'll go through with the process, especially as I'm guaranteed that my phone will be unlocked after payment of the premium version within 7 days, failing which I'll get my money back. What a joke! It's been a month and still nothing, especially after contacting non-existent customer service, I receive an update telling me that it takes a little time but that the unlocking would be imminent. In conclusion, I've been ripped off to the tune of 245 euros and haven't received a refund in a month.
Don't believe the positive reviews, they're probably wrong. It's a big scam. Don't be fooled.

Hi there,

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must be for you. Our process does require an eligibility check and subsequent unlocking fee, which are all outlined during checkout to keep everything transparent.

It's unfortunate to hear your unlocking is taking longer than expected. Please keep in mind that these are often complex processes, and while we aim for delivery within the indicated timeframe, it can vary.

To get the most accurate updates, I recommend checking the status on your tracking page or using our Live Support for immediate assistance. We’re here to help and want to see this resolved for you!

Thank you for your patience.

I got the unlocking code after a week of waiting however my phone does not ask for unlock code when inserted a different sim so it didn't really helped. Contacted the customer service a few times about what else can be done and she says the same thing over again, that the unlocking code had been given and thus the service is done. Just a waste of money

Hi Villanueva Anne,

I’m sorry to hear about the frustration you're experiencing. I understand how disappointing it can be when the unlock process doesn’t go as expected.

Since your phone has been marked as "Unlock Complete" and you received the unlocking codes, the next step is to ensure the phone prompts for a code, which sometimes requires using an incompatible SIM card. Please double-check if you're using a different carrier SIM that is not locked to your phone.

If the device doesn’t require a code, it may need a Remote USB unlock, which is a separate service. If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to reach out so we can assist you further with the best solution for your Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.

Thanks for your patience, and we’re here to help!

Best,
Charlotte

Beyond my Expectations
October 23, 2024

I have had my iPhone 13 Pro Max for over 2 years without luci of having it unlocked so it sat on in a drawer. I stumbled across Direct Unlocks by chance and thought it couldn't hurt and I'm so glad I did. They got my phone unlocked by Apple when Spectrum refused to release the phone. Now I have my phone back and I am so happy! I am impressed with their service. It is the real deal and I would suggest this service to everyone with a locked phone!

Title: "Lifesaver! Unlocked My Phone in Minutes – Couldn't Be Happier!"

I was in a real bind after breaking the screen on my main phone and needed an emergency backup. Unfortunately, the only spare I had was locked. Desperately searching for a quick solution, I stumbled upon Direct Unlocks. To my surprise and relief, within just 15 minutes, my phone was fully unlocked and ready to accept my SIM card! The whole process was incredibly fast and hassle-free. I can't recommend Direct Unlocks enough – they saved the day when I needed it most. Fantastic service, and I'm so grateful. Thanks again!
