AVOID
May 15, 2023

So I started this process in the middle of April May first say that for a small fee they're going to unlock your phone so I paid it it was $28 then they said that was for some security check to make sure that the phone connection to be unlocked so then they send me some message saying my code is ready to pay another $83 so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and paid the $83 turns out if my code wasn't ready it's been a month they're refusing to give me a refund and they don't even respond to their emails all they do is send these template messages that don't make any sense and don't answer any of my questions I would avoid this company
I have included a screenshot of their page that says the code was ready for me to just pay the additional fees please do yourself a favor and avoid this company

SCAM!
May 14, 2023

They do not specify that the first 28 USD payment is to "validate elegibility and that the phone model/carrier selected/etc is the correct one, until they ask for a second payment to "actually unlock the phone".

They are clever enough to avoid PayPal...

AVOID BUSINESS WITH THEM AS POSSIBLE!

Definite SCAM
May 14, 2023

Paid to have 2 different phones unlocked and was told after Paying 2 times (scam) it's not just $28, that just so they can demand another $50...then it suddenly requires a specialist to unlock for $256!
So obviously they are not specialist and just taking your money to refer you to an actual one! DON'T USE DIRECT UNLOCKS!

This is a scamm
May 13, 2023

First of all the website said it costs $23.99 to unlock your phone. After you pay that money, another $44.99 for the unlock code. 2 days later, they charge you another 74.99 for software and cable (I never received a Danm cable). In the end, they said the Phone is compatible with our USB unlocking software. Is a Samsung S7.
Don't bother your self you use this website unless you want to be scammed.
It will be easy for me to buy a used phone for less money.

Fraudulent service
May 12, 2023

Paid initial verification fee as well as unlocking fee. After 15 days they say the device is hardlocked and cannot unlock. When pushed for refund of service fee, they threaten legal action.

Please do not fall into the trap by Direct Unlocks

Do not use this service unless you want to guess how much it will end up costing. They run one test which you pay for - then make up some BS and tell you the next step is double the price of the first one. All in all -this is a true scam with an open-ended price range and shady fine print on every step of the way.

Do not use unless you want to throw money into a pit. After paying $30 - they want $60 more to unlock a $20 flip phone. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE

Scam/Fraud
May 5, 2023

Beware using these guys. The cost is not clearly explained in the beginning. Then you can't reach anyone! Then you are forced to make another payment to get your unlock code. That's IF you get it. Then there is no way to contact them. I will be posting neg reviews on Google as well. Direct unlock my reviews are in the top 10 % in the US. I suggest you get someone in contact with me immediately

SCAMMERS!
May 2, 2023

I have been shopping around to unlock my iPhone. I have used their services - initially, I have paid $29.00, then I have been requested another $45.00. So far, so good. MOST LIKELY YOU WILL NEED PREMIUM SERVICE, AND THEY DON'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH DOES THAT COST INITIALLY! The thing is that I wasn't made aware that the Premium would cost $242.00, otherwise I would have never proceeded forward. I have been quoted with a total of $250 to go to a store and get it unlocked. Their services cost more for me, hence, I am not willing to pay a total of $300 simply because I have been offered a better rate - the whole point of trying to unlock it online was to SAVE MONEY. I personally feel deceived - not to mention the fact I am not provided with a refund to a card option. I want my phone unlocked - I don't need to get credit for their website only, because I don't plan to get another phone anytime soon, and with all seen so far, I wouldn't want to use their service again.

How can I get my $74.00 back - this is a deceiving business practice - not being made aware what the total cost would be.

You pay them to make sure the device is eligible to be unlocked and they conduct some unknown process and determine your device to be eligible. Then you pay another fee to unlock the device. In my case I received an email stating that my unlock codes were ready and just to pay the fee which I did. I was then told it would take 24 hours, then 7 days, then my case was expedited. Finally I was told the device was hard locked and they couldn't unlock it. They suggested that I pay someone else to do it. They did give me a credit to use their service on another device however I don't trust this site now so I asked if they would just refund me. After my third time emailing them asking to be refunded they sent a threatening email back siting their terms and conditions on Fraud and Deception.
They took money for a service they did not provide but I'm the fraud. Lesson learned.
I kept all emails of our interactions, screenshots on the messages on the website and receipts of payment. Maybe one day some one file a lawsuit on them.

SCAM
April 24, 2023

After primarily checks of my IMEI # and Sim Locked to Sprint,report states ALL is well to move forward to UNLOCK. After paying $29 it started process to basically state the same info in different format then asks for another $45 for a basic service or Premium Service with no Pricing stating Sprint servers are down for few days. BULLCRAP. They tried to get $45 more just to move me to premium eventually at who knows what costs! SCAMMERS.
