I recently used DirectUnlocks to unlock my cellphone, and I couldn't be happier with the service. The process was extremely straightforward from the start—just enter your phone details, make the payment, and let them handle the rest. I appreciated how clearly everything was explained on their website, and the instructions were simple enough for anyone to follow. It really took the stress out of unlocking a device. What impressed me the most was the speed and reliability of the service. I could track the progress and my phone was fully unlocked much sooner than I expected. It now works perfectly with any carrier, just as promised. I highly recommend DirectUnlocks to anyone looking for a fast, affordable, easy, and trustworthy way to unlock their phone.

Legit and Transparent!
May 14, 2025

Not going to lie, after being on Reddit and seeing all the scams out there, I was hesitant to try. But while reading the other reviews, I saw all stories of success and decided to go for it! For context, I have a iPhone 16 + that was locked for T-Mobile that I got from a person on the marketplace. After going to the T-Mobile Branch and being told I needed the original owner to put in that request I thought I woulnt never get it unlocked. But I came across DirectUnlocks and decided to got for it. Initially it said it would take 5 days but it only took half of that. Additionally it would keep me updated with all the information regarding request for unlocking and whatnot. Super exited with the results and would definitely try again!

Great process and good at what they do. I was unlocking a Wifi Stick and not a mobile phone. Slightly different. However, you have to make two payments, this is not clear on their website. Which I think is mis-selling and leads you down the rabbit hole. You have committed £10 and then your have to pay another £30 to get the item unlocked. They do what they say, but the prices should be more up front. The other thing, make sure you check online with your mobile provider, as they can be free to unlock, especially if you are in the UK. Don't rush it, like I did. Waste of money considering I got the same code free from the mobile provider and quicker. Otherwise, would I have used them if I had know the full price of the transaction? NO. Would I have used them if the full price of the transaction what under £20 and I couldn't get it unlocked for free - Yes.

Works and cheaper!
May 3, 2025

It took a while to get it done and unlocked but it works. Carrier now has no restrictions. Still expensive but honestly a lot cheaper than taking it into the phone company it's locked to. But it works tho and they're good for it if you're willing to wait the process.

Faster than Expected

The original timeframe to complete the unlock was 48hrs. My phone was ready in about 6. I was able to transfer my current service to the unlocked formerly AT&T I Phone from my android with no issues.

Worked as described.
April 29, 2025

Unlocked a 2nd hand phone that was locked to T-Mobile with a balance owed. Had to go through 3 levels. Initial check, standard unlock, advanced unlock. Each level added to the cost but after a total of about 9 days, direct unlocks came through.

Delivered as promised
April 29, 2025

I ordered to have my iPhone 14 unlocked on the 21st of April, 2025, paid the required fees, and waited for the stated duration. It would take about three (3) days to complete, but it was done in 2 days and some hours. And everything works perfectly fine. I will recommend using them for this service.
