Alors je possède un Iphone 12 mini acheté au etat-unis en mars 2024, je l'utilisé sans forfait, juste en support de mon imac et ipad, en juin 2024 j'ai souscris un forfait chez SFR pour avoir un numéro que j'utiliserai pour toute mes application de sécurité uniquement et non pas pour mes affaire courante, en plus sur un iphone et l'ecosysteme d'apple l'aspect sécuritaire été parfait, mais lorsque j'ai reçu ma carte sim, il était indiqué CARTE SIM NON VALIDE, j'avais beau l'enlever, la remettre, effectuer les derniere mise à jour, mettre une autre carte sim de membres de ma familles, rien à faire c'était bloqué, je compris donc que mon telephone été sim lock après quelque recherche sur internet, j'ai donc tapé sur google "unlock carte sim iphone" et je suis tombé sur le site "DirectUnlocks" j'ai vérifié le nombre d'avis, la moyenne des avis, lu quelque avis positif et négatif, puis est pris la décision d'acheter la prestation de ce site sans vraiment être sûr de ça fiabilité, une fois le paiement validé, les instructions données rassures car elles sont cohérentes, on sent qu'il se passe réellement quelque chose, donc le site nous explique ce qu'il fait étape par étape et un conteur s'affiche pour moi 3 jours, mais en réalité ça à pris 5 jours ou je commencé de plus en plus à douter les dernier jours, mais ce matin, je reçois comme indiqué un mail de direct unlocks qui m'indique que mon telephone et unlock sim et effectivement, je peux maintenant utiliser mon forfait SFR et j'imagine tout autres opérateurs vu que la prestation été de unlock sim le telephone. Je vous recommande ce site, il est fiable vraiment fiable.

Ottimo servizio
July 13, 2024

Servizio efficiente, portale abbastanza chiaro ed efficace, renderei solamente un po' più chiaro il passaggio di controllo dello sblocco e il fatto che il costo iniziale è relativo alla fattibilità dello sblocco.
Tempi di sblocco decisamente efficaci.

Buscando algún página que desbloquee teléfonos encontré esta de Direct Unlocks y todo bien. Tiene la amabilidad de darte una nota de crédito en caso de que el teléfono no se pueda desbloquear por alguna razón. Eso me dio la oportunidad de utilizar el dinero invertido en otro proceso de desbloqueo. Me dio seguridad y confianza para volver a utilizar la plataforma. Muy segura y súper rápido👌🏼

PRICEY BUT WORTH IT.
July 10, 2024

I recently used Direct Unlocks to unlock my smartphone, and overall, it was a positive experience. The process was straightforward and user-friendly, making it accessible even for those who are not very tech-savvy.

**Pros:**
1. **Ease of Use:** The website is well-designed and easy to navigate. The instructions provided for unlocking the phone were clear and concise.
2. **Customer Service:** The customer support team was responsive and helpful. They addressed my queries promptly and provided useful guidance throughout the process.
3. **Efficiency:** The unlocking process was relatively quick. I received the unlock code within the promised timeframe under 1 hour, and it worked without any issues.
4. **Security:** The service felt secure. I appreciated that Direct Unlocks emphasized the importance of data privacy and security throughout the transaction.

**Cons:**
1. **Cost:** While the service is effective, it is a bit on the pricier side compared to some other options available in the market. However, considering the quality of service, it seems justified.
2. **Occasional Delays:** Although my experience was smooth, I noticed some reviews mentioning occasional delays in receiving the unlock codes. This didn't affect me personally but might be something to consider.
3. **Limited Additional Features:** The service focuses solely on unlocking, which it does well. However, additional features or bundled services could enhance the overall value.

In conclusion, Direct Unlocks offers a reliable and efficient phone unlocking service. Despite being slightly expensive, the ease of use and excellent customer support make it a worthy choice. If you need to unlock your phone quickly and securely, Direct Unlocks is a solid option.

Overall very pleased
July 9, 2024

I found unlock while doing a Google search on tips to unlock my new Samsung Galaxy fold5. At first I was very excited because it appeared as though I could get it done for the initial $14.95, whichturned out to be a misleading because after paying the $14.95 it then did the "eligiblity" check on m phone and promoted me to then pay $100. That was a bit more than I had hoped but I did it because it had said I would be unlocked within 12 hours, which is the part of m expirience that frustrated me, I paid he $100 and then it tells me it will be unlocked in 3 DAYS. I was under the impression it would be 12 hours so that upset me a bit. However, upon the 3 days end, I was able to successfully unlock the phone and have had no problems since therefore my over all experience was pleasing!

Hi Jasmine,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I understand your frustration regarding the initial impression of a quicker and less expensive process. For clarity, the $14.95 was indeed for the eligibility check, while the $100 covered the actual unlocking payment. As stated on our checkout page prior to purchase, these costs are disclosed up front along with their respective purposes.

Regarding the time expectation, I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delay. While we aim to offer the fastest service possible, occasionally, some orders can take a bit longer due to various factors. I'm glad to hear that despite the delay, your Galaxy Z Fold5 was successfully unlocked and that you’re enjoying it without any further issues.

We appreciate your feedback and are always looking to improve our communication and service.

Best Regards,
Charlotte

Be warned for extra charges
July 8, 2024

If you dont read all the t's and c's please be aware that will be almost dfininately subject to an extra charge for the codes in addition to up to 10 days to wait for the codes not the 'instant' that is advertised

Hello Angus,

Thank you for sharing your experience. Based on your order status "Unlock Complete," it appears that your Samsung Galaxy J4+ from EE UK has been successfully unlocked with the code "4141847263704815". You should enter this code when asked after inserting a non-EE SIM card.

If your phone is not prompting for an unlocking code, you will need to proceed with a Remote USB unlock for an additional fee. This step is necessary in certain circumstances, as outlined on our website.

As mentioned in our terms, all costs are outlined on the checkout page prior to purchase. You have made two payments: £11.99 for the Eligibility Check and £26 for the Standard Unlock.

I encourage you to continue the unlocking process by using the provided code or considering the Remote USB Unlock if the prompt does not appear.

If you have further questions or need assistance with the next steps, feel free to reach out.

Best regards,
Charlotte

Customer Service R. Direct Unlocks Rep

Hi Marii Meister,

I'm sorry to hear that you're still experiencing issues with your Samsung Galaxy S22 5G. I see that your unlock process is complete and you've received the unlock codes: NCK=69247158, MCK=18180364, RGCK=00000000, EXTRA=59250302.

To assist you further, here are a few steps you can try to enter the unlock codes:

1. **Insert a Non-Compatible SIM Card:** Insert a SIM card from a different carrier into your phone.
2. **Enter the NCK Code:** When prompted for a network unlock code, enter the NCK code (69247158).
3. **Unlocking Failure:** If the phone asks for another code, you might consider entering the MCK or other codes provided as per the instructions from Direct Unlocks.

If these steps fail and the phone remains locked or unresponsive, it may be best to take it back to the store where you purchased it, as you suggested. Technical issues like these can sometimes require professional assistance to resolve.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
Charlotte
