Fast and effective

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.

October 29, 2019

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!

Cheaters
October 25, 2019

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!

Stay away
September 19, 2019

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.

SCAM, PURE AND SIMPLE
September 18, 2019

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.

Took my money
August 28, 2019

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

What a SCAM
August 21, 2019

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.
