Fast iPhone X unlocks, removed Vodafone within 48 hours. Always satisfied with the outcome from this site, smooth and quick.
Excellent iPhone unlocking site, this site unlocked mine and my daughters iPhone within 48 hours, the site is very easy to use and kept well informed with your order tracking.
Wasn't sure about using this service as previous experience unlocking phones required specific software but did exactly what it said on the tin and unlocked in less than 24hrs.
Worked well great website for iPhone unlocks they unlocked my phone earlier than they said! Didn't take long at all! Will use again :) many thanks
Amazing and fast service unlocking my phone SE within 24hours, would definiataly recommend to friends and family!
Great service, unlocked my iPhone XS within 24hr and will definitely use them again. Recommend to anyone.
After waiting almost 3 months for Vodafone to not complete my unlock, iPhoneapprovedunlock.com did it for me within 48 hours, I will use these guys again
Paid £17.99 as per the website.
Then they demanded another £49.99.
Go direct to your provider, ITS FREE.
These guys are a SCAM
Used this company to unlock my IPHONE XS MAX, they charged £17.99 to unlock my phone, on their home page it says NOTHING about any other payments and wanted an additional £70 to complete the unlock. False advertisement, stay well clear!
No uncloking no refunding
Their keep on send me Terms and conditions. Very unethical company.
Do not use their services.
You can provide an any digits combination and they will tell you it is eligible for a service and will charge you for that. Then will ask you to pay 10 times more to complete the service even for non existing device
No service provided, no refund received
Dont fall in the trap of the 17$ initial cost. Once you pay this, then they have power on you. They tell you if you want your phone unlock, you need to pay an extra 63$, and you dont have a choice. But even after you pay those 63$ extra, they keep asking you for more information and money. And you already paid 80$ so you have no choice to continue with them or loose that money. They dont answer the phone or give you a human response by email, its always you unlocking process is about to get completed. Its a scam big time!
Picked Iphone approved unlock because of the good reviews and paid my £17.99 which I thought was fair. Now they want a further £52.79 to give me the unlock this was never stated and i will not be recommending or paying.
Hello,
I bought "Phone Unlock - iPhone 6 - EE UK''
I paid 20 usd.
But now they charging me again extra 63 USD. And phone is still locked. They said they have extra problems so I must pay more.
They text me:
"Your phone is a very expensive device and is subsidised by the carrier over the length of your contract, the carrier requires this additional unlocking fee to cover their potential loss of revenue."
And they not going to bring back me 20 usd.
BEWARE Of What You Might Be Getting Into
I merely wanted an unlock on an old iPad 3. I paid the $18 initial fee, then an additional $40 to actually start the process. Over 9 months (from late November 2018), I got nothing except empty reassurances that my order would be completed "soon".
I finally got their attention when I posted a review on this site. I requested that they either unlock the iPad, or refund my payments, as outlined in their Terms & Conditions (not lost, stolen, blacklisted, serial number checked out with Apple, etc.).
Well, they wouldn't unlock the iPad because "the system crashed when the iCloud infrastructure was remodeled due to a worldwide server outage throughout last year and the beginning of this year."
They also said that they couldn't unlock because of the "new model and costs" for unlock activation. This was the response to my question of whether I was going to have pay any kind of 'final fee'.
So, they said that they would refund my $58 within 3-7 days. Well, I didn't get that either. So, I'm reposting a review and have notified them that I will not take it down until I receive my refund.
They did seem to be especially concerned about my review, as they requested it's removal in almost every reply.
I won't say "Don't Use..." because I'm sure it works for some people. I was not one of them. But BEWARE of what you might be getting into.
DO NOT USE
DO NOT USE - SCAM
Initial fee of £14.99 then nothing for a week, chased everyday and was then told that I needed to pay an additional £130 to have my phone unlocked!?! Nowhere on their site does it refer to £130
DONT USE
Took my money. Waited for them to unlock my phone and they gonna respond and say they can't because I am still under contract. That is the purpose of getting a phone locked because it is under contract. If it wasn't I could get it unlocked for free. Straight rip off, I would never use them again or recommend anybody use them
Avoid, Avoid, Avoid. Like other people I was taken in by their apparently honest description of what I am paying for, £17.99 to have my phone unlocked. And yes, the next email asks for another £46 79p they are a very dishonest, unscrupulous setup.
I read the reviews on their site, obviously all false, no one will be "delighted" with their rip off scam.
There has to be a way of getting them stopped from scamming the public. I should have gone to the shop where I can get it done for under £20!
They are a scam - they couldn't deliver the promised and advertised carrier unlocking and have since refused to refund my money after dozens of requests.
Furthermore, they've threatened me with "legal action" for "defamation"(?) because I left a handful of honest, negative reviews online. Yes, I'm serious.
Hidden charges. Plain and simple! Scam company - beware! No invoice or no registered address, completely cut communication with me once i asked for refund.
Answer: It's a scam! I lost my money, they didn't unlock and didn't proceed full refund after 1 month waiting
Answer: Hello, we are sorry to hear your confusion with our pricing, our price list states all the prices, Devices are unlocked for the pre order fee unless there has been issues with the device contract, As an intermediate company, we are a recycler of bulk unlocks, For this reason we can offer bulk unlocks to our Pre order customers for the price stated, If it is that there are contract issues / debt to be cleared this must be cleared prior to release of the unlock, This fee is set by the network and has to be cleared before they will release the device, Kind Regards Sophie@ Support
Answer: Please contact our support Team for help, all devices are completed via iTunes in order to unlock, Thanks Alison
Answer: Impossible, the dont exist phone goes to answer phone and email automated
Answer: I used them and never got my phone unlocked nor my money back. I just get excuses from the Like "we are doing a system maintenance" Or "it will be ready in 7 to 10 days. It's been over 2 months.
