BUNCH OF SCAMMERS
April 12, 2018

Don't trust these people. They ask for payment twice without any unlock done. When you submit IMEI for unlock, device is CLEAN, after you make payment, they Blacklist your IMEI and then IMEI end up to be in LOST/STOLEN mode and they claim no unlock can be done due to blacklisted IMEI. Bunch of Scammers!

Looks like there are lots of fake reviews to make the reviews rating high for this site, but its just a scam. They will ask money which is non-refundable and willl never come back to you. If you will try to reach them, you may just get reply that you have to wait and wait and wait till the time they figure out how to unlock. Its more than 2 months i am still waiting. In email thy told me if my ohone will be unlocked with other carrier they will refund, but they never replied on my refund request. Dont waste your money and time, try some other local authentic unlock services, who will take money after they unlock, not scam people like this who will first take money and then disappeared. DOnt trust any service like this who ask for money with no assurance and no customer value.

Scam
March 3, 2018

I doubt this service has really meant for unlocking the phones,
I recently i purchased for iPhone unlocking service and paid 20 lbs, and i see status shows 50% complete in their website. To rest 50% complete and to get the code need to pay another 50 British pound, stating as said before buying this service agreement.

I having big doubt this site really meant for unlocking or sucking money.

directunlocks.co.uk will charge you up to $56 and then 3 day later provide you with information you can instantly obtain at free sites. No refund obviously.

AVOID - Extremely MISLEADING services. If you're looking to get your iPhone un-barred from a UK carrier's list of lost/stolen phones then AVOID this company. Do not pay anything. Faux services. They said they could unlock and un-barr my iPhone from a UK network but this was untrue. I asked for a refund, they then sent an email "guaranteeing" that if I paid more money I would have the iPhone un-barred and it would definitely, but guess what, It did NOT. In the email they said that if it did not work after paying the additional 2nd fee, they would then be able to offer me a full refund. Thus, again I asked for a full refund and after many weeks of getting a response, they say that because the phone is indeed unlocked (free to use any SIM), they believe they have done their job. But my phone was already unlocked (free to use any SIM) before I even approached this company. I was wrongly missold their services from the 1st payment (let alone again on the 2nd payment to them), under the belief that my phone would become un-barred from the UK carrier's iphone list. I just want my money back. I asked many times. Sending several emails expressing how I just want a refund because I was wrongly miss sold (a bit like PPI!). If you're looking to get your iPhone un-barred from a UK carrier's list of lost/stolen phones then AVOID this company. Do not pay anything. SCAMMERS

They are a scam! AVOID!
They took my money and did not do the job! They also ignore all the emails you send. I've lost £25 (or shall I say they've stolen my money!). Avoid this company at all costs! Go for a different company.

IPhone Activation Unlock
November 30, 2017

Paid the £20 pre order fee yesterday. Then read the reviews! Sent them an email this morning saying unless the phone is unlocked by the end of the day, I would be contacting my credit card company requesting a refund. Within an hour, received an email from them to say a full refund was being issued. The reason I needed the phone unlocked is my son has a severe mental illness and cannot remember his Apple ID, password or memorable info and does not have proof of purchase so Apple wont unlock it, very frustrating!

This company is an absolute rip off, please don't use them. A few days ago I paid £20 to unlock an iPhone 6 and (I have the screenshots) nowhere at all did they mention there would be another fee of £56. If you dont pay the second fee then you don't get a refund. Really unbelievable. Please use any other company other than this one. I'm seething with them!

This page is a Scam!
October 25, 2017

This page is a scam. First they use the name Approved to catch the client, then they make you pay 20EUR to send mobile info, then they ask you for 59.99 EUR to check it out. After 1 month and 1 week, writing everyday to ask about my money and unblocking situation, now I've been asked to go PREMIUM so they can unblock the iphone.
They stole my money and still answering "we are having problems unblocking your device, will let you know when we see what is the problem, PAY MORE"

I still went ahead and placed an order even after reading all the negative reviews about this company - yes, I'm the type who like to see things for myself. And boy did I get burned, everything played out lo and behold as described, word for word. I am aghast that such as scam company should be allowed to exist and operate freely openly. First they lie about offering activation lock removal service for GBP19.99 only to tell you after taking your payment that what you paid for was just a pre-order. Next they would ask you to pay another GBP30, then shortly after that you will receive an email telling you your device is marked as lost or stolen therefore it can't be removed. They would then offer you a voucher as a refund. Shouldn't you refund a persons money if you can't provide the service they paid you for? And what was the point of the pre-order? Is it not to verify if the device is unlock able in the first place.

Don't be fooled by scam companies like this which offer a service that is non-existent, only Apple or the original owner can remove an activation lock.

This is a total scam!

Biggest Scam Ever!
October 2, 2017

This is by far the biggest scam ever. When you navigate to the website it big bold writing it states only $19 to unlock the icloud. Once you sign up for that, couple days later you have to pay another $39 to fully unlock the service. The first $19 was a pre-order which is non refu sable, then the $39 is refundable if the service doesn't work only according to their guidelines. My phone was in the guidelines and they weren't able to unlock the icloud. They were giving me a Voucher for another phone. They won't give me the refund on what they claim on the site. I have sent them many email for a refund and still no answer after 10 emails. TOTAL SCAM... PLEASE BEWARE!
