For this reason, we now only allow ONE failed iCloud purchase per customer. Please use your voucher against a network unlock, not an iCloud unlock. If you have no other device to sim unlock at the current time, please save your vouchers for premium service for this IMEI, or perhaps friends or a family member can make use of one of our network unlocks?

False claims backed by no real evidence. You are sending your payment details to fraudsters. Also, they have the nerve to e-mail you from time to time with "new" features. You've been warned!

These took 9k to unlock 7 with a premium account. And not unlocked. And they don't return the money, and the phone has not been unlocked since February 2019. I DO NOT RECOMMEND contacting them! Scam

This company starts by charging $27 initially. Once you make the payment, the problem starts. In my case, they have indicated everything is good and my phone is ready to be unlocked but I need to pay another $42 for the service which I did. That's it. They are gone now. Not responding to my emails and they don't have a contact number.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND BE LEFT WITH BAD TASTE.

Stay away from this company as they have no service to provide.

I used this company thinking it could help with the iCloud lock on my iPhone. They emailed stating that it couldn't be done do to it being in the system as lost or stolen. I sent proof it wasn't. I never received my money back. I was dumb enough to think that maybe it would work a second time around. Wrong... The second time I paid 30 more dollars even. For them to tell me the same as before. They refuse to answer emails or refund my money. Do not use this company.

Bought this service based on Netchimp review. Site said pay $27. Did so to get my iPad unlocked in 1-24 hours. Got email after saying it was a "prepayment" and demanding another $42 to finish the job with now a 2-3 day wait. Am immediately contacting my card company to issue me a new card and refund my money/cancel the transaction.

As many others have said, this is an absolute scam. They charged 100 dollars AUD all together only to say it was a stolen phone and could not be unlocked. I know it is not a stolen phone, so I know they are lying.
I am going to report them and try to get them closed down.

In first attachment you can see my purchase to unlock icloud
In second attachment you can see that after a couple of hours I requested to cancel my order by sending them an email
In third attachment you can see their response that I can't get any refund and that they will not go any further with my order until I pay more money. Ofcourse, I will not pay anything because I will not get any result from them except that they has stolen my money

I sent 2 devices which cost 69$*2 but nothing unlocked. They just sent back an email like this in 3 days.
I checked iCloud lost/stolen status before i sent my phones' IMEI to them. There is no hope to get refund.

I've waited 10 business days for an unlock code (cellunlocker said 1-5 business days), and tried to contact cellunlocker multiple times for status or refund, they always replied with "you will get a solution in 1-24 hours" but no solution or email arrived. I had to open a query with PayPal to get my money back.

SCAMMER WARNING... there should be a zero star rating for a scam companies like these. You will pay money and get nothing. A slick scam, they will pretend to be providing a service, communicate with you, but they will ask for more money, offer premium services and they will claim the device is stolen and that is why the service could not be provided and cannot be refunded There is never any intention to provide an unlock service. This company is a SCAM.

Took £20 from me then another £30 to unlock my phone. Then i received a message saying it was locked to 'find my phone' and could not be unlocked. I told them the icloud is clean but they still couldn't unlock it, useless! They then told me i cannot get a refund and that i now have a credit with them for £50, which is no good as they don't unlock phones only scam you for money. I have since had my phone unlocked through a company on ebay without any problems... Stay clear of these shysters!

Do not be lured from the first low price to unlock the icloud, then it will email you saying it is the preorder service and asking you to pay for another big amount. Even you sent the final amount then it will tell that the phone is in blacklist with whatever bullsh! T excuse and cannot complete the task nor refund your payment since not their problem. This company should be shut down and those scam artists all going to jail!

Stay away for real, you trickle with the ease of a proffesional thief, you fall into this because you need, and they take advantage of it, stealing from before, the bait, of 12.99, then the bulk, of 32 dlr that you will not see anymore, because they close everything, with the excuse that none of it is possible, and you're the culprit, no money back, and take it in that post.
They send you to check the IMEI of the phone, which they share and declared stolen or lost, (but yours,) by a company that is always theirs, who already have your IMEI delivered from before, by themselves, and a professional tour of the trade of stealing.

Website promises to be able to remove Activation Lock. They take £20 (without mentioning that this is a "deposit") then ask for another £30. Then they tell you that your phone can't be unlocked as it's on Apple's blacklist. Total rubbish. This is a stock reply to cover that they can't remove activation locks. The only way to get a refund is to send them proof of device purchase. If we had that, we would just be walking in to any Apple store and get them to do it. Their website looks genuine but don't take any notice of the number of phones they've unlocked - total fiction. Do not confuse this site with cellunlocker.net (which has reasonable reviews).

Please please please do not use cellunlocker. They said it would cost £19.99 to icloud unlock my iphone I paid the £19.99 they then emailed me to say they wanted another £30 and if I didn't pay they would keep my £19.99 and I would never hear from them again I paid the £30 making it £49.99 to icloud unlock my phone. They then emailed me and said the phone was reported as lost or stolen. The phone belonged to my uncle and I got the iphone off my auntie after my uncle passed away but she didn't know the icoud info or anything else about it. So this site (cellunlocker is a scam) please don't use

CellUnlocker.co.uk leads the unsuspecting person to believe that they will remove the icloud activation lock from your apple account for $27. After you pay the $27 with your credit card another page pops up informing you that 42$ is required to complete the deactivation. They don't tell you that the $27 is a deposit on the full price. The full price is $69. I don't like being tricked. These people are scum. They justify their sleazy behavior by calling the $27 a pre-Order deposit.
CellUnlocker's website indicates that they will remove the Apple activation lock which prevents me from using my Apple watch because the lock is linked to the watch. My used Apple watch is linked to the previous owner because he failed to erased the device and make sure it was no longer linked to his account. So as a result there is a software activation lock linked to the watch preventing it from being used.

First they state only $27 US dollars to icloud unlock. Then after paying I received an wmaik saying I now have to pay an additional $42 to complete my order. This was not mentioned to me in the beginning.
