Decent service but high fees.
July 2, 2024

The service worked as expected but it took 3 days to unlock the device. The eligibility fee and actual unlock fee are different so you end up paying close to $90 USD. The process was simple though and there wasn't any hassle entering information and getting the confirmation of the unlock emailed to you.

Hi Kathryn,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm glad to hear that the service worked as expected and that the process was simple for you.

I understand that the additional cost for the actual unlock fee might have come as a surprise. Our checkout page does outline the costs clearly, which include the Eligibility Check fee of $28.99 and the Standard Unlock fee of $50. This way, we ensure transparency in what you'll be paying for.

I'm happy to inform you that your iPhone XR is now unlocked and you should have full access to use it with any network. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Thank you for choosing our service! Enjoy your unlocked phone!

Best regards,
Charlotte

At first it's presented as if iys gonna cost you approximately 25€. Once paid they will ask you an extra 50 € to receive the code.
The code worked but the final cost is very exoensive and the method is a bit sneaky.

Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for sharing your experience. I understand your concern about the costs involved. Our process includes both an Eligibility Check (which you've already completed for €26.99) and a Standard Unlock fee (€56). We strive to make all costs clear on the checkout page before purchase.

I’m glad the code worked for you! While I understand the total cost can seem high, we aim to provide a reliable unlocking service. If your phone didn't prompt for an unlocking code, we would have recommended a Remote USB Unlock at an additional fee, as detailed in our policy.

We appreciate your feedback and are always working to improve our services. If you have any further questions or need more assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,
Charlotte

Regarding the costs, as mentioned during the checkout process, we outline all the fees upfront before any payment is made. For your iPhone 8 Plus, you have successfully completed the Eligibility Check for €13.49 and the Standard Unlock for €44.

It's fantastic to know that your iPhone 8 Plus is now unlocked and ready for use! If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for choosing us!

Quick service

Overall good service once you understand the 2 separate charges for eligibility and unlocking.
Very quick to receive unlock code and easy to follow instructions.

Hi Je Fuller,

Thank you for your review and for choosing our service to unlock your Huawei P30 lite! I'm glad to hear that you found the process quick and the instructions easy to follow.

Regarding the two separate charges: you've already completed both the Eligibility Check and the Standard Unlock payment, so no further payments should be necessary unless your phone doesn't prompt for an unlocking code. In such cases, a Remote USB Unlock would be required as mentioned [in our policy](https://directunlocks.com/refund).

Your unlock code is **0404360689343296**. Please ensure you use a non-EE sim card to enter this code. If your phone doesn't prompt for the code, you would need to proceed with the Remote USB Unlock.

If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to ask. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy using your unlocked phone!

Best regards,
Charlotte

I bought my daughter's old phone not knowing it was locked. I used Direct Unlock, paid the $80 waited the seven days they said it would take the the phone to be unlocked all for nothing. They told me it was hardlocked and gave me "credit" that I have no use for, which means they get to keep my money. If they really want to refund me that can refund it to my credit card.

Hi Tara,

Thank you for reaching out. I’m sorry to hear about your experience. I understand how frustrating it can be when things don't go as planned.

Your phone was identified as "Hard-Locked," which means it's particularly challenging to unlock and falls under our policy for issuing a credit note. According to our Terms and Conditions, specifically section 7.5, "Any unlocks which come back as Hard-Locked by the network will be refunded in the form of a Credit Note, due to the amount of work required in attempting to perform this unlock."

While I understand you may feel a credit note isn't useful, it can be redeemed against any other unlocking service you might need in the future or for a different device. This is our way of ensuring you still receive value for your purchase.

If there's anything else I can assist you with or if you need help understanding how to use the credit note, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best wishes,

Charlotte

Serviço Prestado com Rapidez
June 29, 2024

Tenho um Oneplus 11, com bloqueio regional. Solicitei os serviços DirectUnlocks e tudo correu bem, até eu descobrir que o meu smartphone não abria a janela para digitar o código de desbloqueio. Segundo DirectUnlocks,eu cometi um erro por não verificar, antes de fazer o pedido, se o smartphone pedia o código de desbloqueio. A empresa me deu uma carta de crédito compensatória que, infelizmente, jamais irei utilizar, pois não comprarei mais smartphones com bloqueio regional.

Olá José, obrigado por compartilhar seu feedback. Lamento saber de sua experiência com o OnePlus 11 em relação ao problema de bloqueio regional. Em relação à janela do código de desbloqueio não aparecer, "se o seu aparelho não solicitar um código de desbloqueio antes do pagamento, não poderemos desbloquear o dispositivo, mas ainda incorreremos em custos de envio e você terá que usar um desbloqueio USB remoto com custo adicional." Infelizmente, como esta é uma condição do nosso serviço, não foi possível reembolsá-lo. A carta de crédito emitida destina-se a ajudar nas necessidades futuras de desbloqueio. Entendo sua frustração e agradeço sua confiança inicial em nossa alta taxa de sucesso. Embora a nota de crédito possa parecer inútil agora, ela poderá ser usada para qualquer serviço de desbloqueio de SIM no futuro, não apenas para smartphones com bloqueio regional. Para a sua situação atual, se você decidir prosseguir com o desbloqueio remoto do USB, pode ser uma solução viável para desbloquear o OnePlus 11 e totalmente operacional. Obrigado novamente pelo seu feedback e espero que possamos ajudá-lo melhor no futuro. Atenciosamente, Carlota
