Overall, this is a good deal on an unlock code. However, do not use them if you're in a rush or care about customer service. My code took almost twice as long as it was supposed to, almost all emails went unanswered, and if you call them for support their automated system hangs up on you. One email reply I DID receive apologized for the delay and promised my code by the end of that day, which didn't happen. If you read their Facebook page you'll see a disturbing number of people who never got codes at all. Ultimately in my case I did receive my code and it worked.

I have a Blackberry Curve 9320 with 'second' generation security. I first sent the company an email telling them, and asking if they could unlock the phone. They said yes and it would cost $7.99 for a code. It failed. We again exchanged emails, they said they could do it, but the second codes sent to me also failed. Finally they advised an unlock for my phone would cost $20 total to use another 'alternative' database. I agreed, paid, and the third code finally unlocked the phone. The good is that they were finally successful. The bad is that they should have been able to serve me much better because right at the start I specifically told them I had a phone with the special security requirement. They need much better coordination between 'sales', 'service' and 'technical' to avoid these frustrations.

It's been two weeks and I still haven't received my code. I've contacted through online chatting and I am told that they are working on it and I should receive it by end of the week. Let's See!

The code worked but it took too much time to send it to me, I thought I've lost indeed my money for a while.

I read somewhere that they don't unlock US purchased phones if they are purchased after 13 feb 2013. Is it true?

"Good support and difficult time unlocking a phone"

I processed two unlock codes for two Samsung I897 Captivate.
For the 1st phone the unlock code worked right away. This experience was outstanding and I'm happy with this outcome.
2nd phone. I didn't work with the unlock code. I submitted several videos. Opted to buy the defreeze code. I got a refund for the first unlock code transaction. The defreeze code ever worked. I sent videos and the support started to send late replies. Left out with no option. I did have to send the phone to Samsung for software reflash. During that process, Samsung repaired some components on the phone and send it back to me. I had to pay Samsung about 70 USD to get it back
When I received the phone the unlock code worked right away.
I think that the fair thing to do is to pay just for the unlock code. I've ever used a defreeze code for my phone to get unlocked.

EDIT: I have kept my email correspondence below, because I think it is worth knowing before working with CellUnlocker. I feel this business has done lots of good work with others and would like to think my experience is a one-off. If you read the emails below, please read all the way to the bottom, as my issues and all of my complaints have been taken care of to my satisfaction as you will read.

Here is email correspondence following my lack of any help and service from CellUnlocker.net:

Hello, I just got back from my trip. I never received the unlock code for my cell phone in either of my email addresses. Furthermore, my cell phone provider unlocked my phone for free. Furthermore, I was sent an email on Thursday (June 11th) stating that you would need to use another database to find my code and that that could take an additional 1-2 business days. To which I responded that I'm leaving on my trip on the upcoming weekend (June 13th) so I'd like to cancel the request. In response, you sent an email asking if I'm sure, as the timeline would provide me with the unlock code on Friday. Hearing this I agreed.

Having not yet received a code, having my phone already unlocked by my provider (which I did on June 13th just before I left), and having gotten no response on June 12th (when I was told I would have the code), I feel it is fair that I be refunded my money.

CellUnlocker looks to me like a great service that many should use, but only if they are not on a tight deadline. I think this should be added to your approach when dealing with customers.

Thank-you for getting back to me, I appreciate your correspondence.

Hi Jeremy,

We sent you the code last week to this email. Did you not receive it?

Here was a copy of that:
<email> --- NETWORK=--- PROVIDER=--- SUBPROVIDER=--- DEFREEZE=--- EXTRA=---

Please let us know if you did not receive this at all. Please make sure to check junk folders...

Thanks

I did not receive it. I am an application developer and very familiar with both computers and how my email works. I don't know how it is possible that you have receipt of sending me an email that I never received. Furthermore, I never received this product at all, let alone on the timeline indicated. As I have not even received any code provided by CellUnlocker and my cell phone is already unlocked (by my provider, for free). I respectfully request a refund.

Thank-you,
Jeremy Friesen

Hi there,

We are all familiar with computers and how emailing works too.
We also received confirmation from our email server the email was sent.

Our refund policy can be viewed again, here:
http://cellunlocker.net/terms-and-conditions.php

Unfortunately we will not be able to refund this device without the video agreed upon at check out.

The most we can do is offer you a store credit of the same value for a future order.

Thank you

As per your policy. Please relock my handset and give me a refund. I never received the product that I purchased, and I no longer require it.

Hi there,

There are no refunds specifically for orders where the customer does not to use our unlocking services anymore after the order has been placed.

The best we can do is offer to unlock a different device, however there may not be a refund.

Thanks

Given the conversation on June 11th between myself and a representative of CellUnlocker, I feel that this is not fair and should be reviewed by someone who can consider the circumstances.
On June 11th, I was emailed and told that CellUnlocker was unable to find my unlock code and asked for permission to search another database. I was told the search would take between 1-2 business days.
That same day I responded that I was leaving on a trip that Saturday (June 13th) and did not have time to wait for the unlock code.
I was then told by CellUnlocker to reconsider, and that the code would be provided to me the following day (June 12th).
On Saturday, June 13th (the day I left for my trip), having not received any email with an unlock code, I went to ISP to pay them to unlock my phone. To my surprise they (MTS Manitoba) said that given my contract with them, they were willing to unlock my phone for free.
I now have an unlocked phone. It did not require your product (which I have still not even received).
Here's my situation, as I see it. I have paid you for a product that:
I never received
I no longer have a need for
Was not provided to me within the timeline discussed
Tell me exactly how it is you feel, given this information that I am not entitled to a refund. I have given you money, and received absolutely nothing for it. Furthermore, even if I were to now receive your product I no longer have a need for it as my phone is unlocked and I am no longer travelling.

The email thread referred to has the Subject line "Unlock Code", sent from this email to *******@cellunlocker.net, on June 11th.

Given that I have not yet received a response to this email since laying out my case, I feel I have no choice but to inform other users of the service received here. In an effort to remain fair, I have chosen to review your services on only one review site.

It can be found here: http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.cellunlocker.net#1120

I would prefer to resolve this issue between us, and do not wish to bring others into it. However, no response to my final email tells me that you are not listening. I haven't forgotten about the service I've received, and do not intend to be ripped off. Should I continue to be ignored and not treated with respect, you should expect more reviews, on more sites.

When I first found CellUnlocker, I was wary of the service I might receive, so I looked at sitejabber.com to see what both the positive and the negative reviews had to say about you. It was mostly good, so I believed you were a company that would follow through on its agreements. I feel that I was mistaken and want to do what I can to make sure others are not so easily fooled.

Hi Jeremy,

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. I'm not sure why you didn't receive a response from your last email.

I do see within your email threads you did inform us you needed the code by the 13th.

Your order has been refunded. You should see the refund reflect in your account within the next 7 business days.

Thank you
