I have 18 screenshots and an email to demonstrate the entirety of their marketing is fraudulent and deceptive. The use a 2-step process, the first one costs $26 to ascertain whether your phone is eligible to be unlocked, and the second one is $64 for a 'remote' unlock that's supposed to be either instantaneous or within 24 hours. After 4 and a half days of complaining, they sent me 4 codes, instructing me to not only input the codes (i.e., not a remote unlock), but they asked me to take a video of me entering the codes, something they never mentioned prior to me paying the $64. They charged me $26 to determine my phone was eligible for unlock, and they use AT&T's logo on their website, and I told them that AT&T refused to let tje phone be unlocked until I had 6 months service on it, but they rebutted me by saying I was required to provide a video ofbthe steps I took tonperform my so-called 'remote' IMEI unlock on my phone 'instantaneously.' It was a waste of 6 days of my time and nearly $100.
My phone had a carrier specific sim card lock, and no one could help me unlock it, not even my phone company. My phone took about 2 hour to get it unlocked but they were able to fix it. Great company
Not to long to wait. Great customer service. However it didn't unlock my phone
Very easy and fast,iphone 11 unlocked in just 10 minutes,highly recommended.
Great service very prompt, I would have given your service 5 stars exempt for having to make 3 separate payments to unlock my phone at short notice( web site gives the impression of 1 off payment)
Efficient and easy service, cheeky with making u pay twice with no prewarning but can't complain
Muy buena, rápido y sin problemas, la recomiendo al cien por ciento, confiable y buena comunicación
It costs me 116$ dollars... and 15 days of waiting... i got nothing. My hard earned money vanished. They gave me credit note which is totally worthless... i dont have another phone nor i have money to purchase a phone and again scammed with these lowballers. Im from pakistan and never ever will spend my money to anyother website in future. My bank alone costs me way more than TAXES on three different transactions... 7$ dollor 29$ dollor 77$...
Easy and fast. Very satisfied with the service I received. I would definitely recommend them to family or friends.
"Directunlocks is a scam. Directunlocks use clever wording to fool users. You will first see a small amount less than $30 on home page with a button unlock now. Then you will be redirected to a page with another clever wording. You will never get your phone unlocked. You just be moved to the next step, where you have to pay more each time"
I was very skeptical at first that this service wasn't going to work. My husband tried it first and his phone was unlocked within a few hours. I decided to try this service and after a few hiccups my phone is now fully unlocked. Thank y'all so much.
I used this website to unlock my phone from EE Network, I've waited 7 days and it's still not unlocked! I have contacted my bank for my money back (luckily I purchased on a credit card) and reported this as a scam.
This company is a scam. They keep your initial funds, then charge you $50.00 more. After that, they inform that they can't complete the unlock unless you pay even more funds. Don't fall for it. I have requested a refund multiple times and they keep trying to get me to pay more money. I will be warning people every way that I can. Scam artists…
Borrowed a phone off a friend whilst mine was being fixed. The phone was locked. I didn't know which network it was locked to and paid £4.99 to this company to find out which company. Naively I then paid a further £23.99 for the unlock code - only to be asked for a further £30 to release the codes. I stopped before this thankfully, and found out you can get these codes free from the Networks websites. I emailed the company for a refund of the £23.99 as the order was not completed. They then sent me the unlock code without the need for a further £30. My phone was already unlocked at this point so the code was useless. I emailed again asking for the refund and they have failed to reply. You DO NOT NEED this website. Unlock codes can be obtained free from the phone company's websites.
The website is extremely misleading about what you will pay; they have it big and bold that it's ONLY $28.99 and then hidden in grayed-out fine print that it will be much more. Once you check out, they have you locked into their scam, and you can't get your money back, or they will blacklist your phone. I could buy a new phone for the price they are demanding after you pay the unlock fee. Literal blackmail.

Answer: £23.99 is approx $28.99 - but the exchange rate does fluctuate
Answer: Sadly not, that is an illegal practice and unethical.
