The unlock process was super easy. Not much information required except IMEI and telephone service provider. I got my iPhone unlocked in less than 24 hours. Be cautious, there are two payments and is not clearly displayed. Yo pay first 18 UK pounds for a pre-unlocked review, and when they unlock it, you have to pay 40 UK pounds in order to get your unlock code sent via WIFI. I was surprised but I review the purchase and there it was mentioned in small print.
See positive reviewsI was not clearly informed of the requirement for an additional payment other than the one I already made to unlock my phone. I am seeking a full refund for being mislead by Direct Unlocks when purchasing services. I can see from reviews that I am not the first to be mislead. I have also reported this to Trading standards as the ad breached CAP Code (Edition 12) rules 3.1 and 3.3 (Misleading advertising), 3.7 (Substantiation), 3.17 (Prices), and 3.22 (Prices)

Scam. Stay away from it! 1. Price offered is not what is actually charged. After 24 hours they ask for more money; 2. After you hand out more money an automated timer that adds 1% everyday kicks in and slows the process in a manner that the time frame for a complaint with your bank is no longer available. MOST IMPORTANT 3. They stop responding emails and you DON'T get the phone unlocked. Stay away from it!
The first time they charge me $28 and then I can they charge me $35 and then they went for one week and then they told me my phone is not eligible to unlock and then when I was in refund nobody respond
They're advertisement comes first in Google searches and shows lowest cost for unlock
I'm guessing no. There are some very rare people who can do this, but I've found that most do not overtly advertise & they typically cost a lot! I have a phone I purchased second hand via charity & it's activation locked but not blacklisted. If you have a blacklisted phone, you'd need to have it overwritten with a clean (usually stolen) one. I knew none of this until I started buying & flipping used devices. I've learned quickly that it's not nearly as simple as you may want it to be.
