Very quick
December 4, 2015

Was advised there would be a delay of up to 12 days as my carrier was Vodafone. This was completed in just over a week. No problems and was updated regularly what was happening. I didn't have to plug my phone into iTunes it did it over my mobile data. Great service

Long and expensive
December 4, 2015

Their site web says the unlock price is 19£, but it's just a pre order price. I had to pay a extra of 49£ to continuer the process: O
The processing time was much longer than what they say on the site.
Almost un month!
I'll never make any order with them.

Thank goodn as I found this site
December 4, 2015

Had trouble getting AT&T to unlock this phone that I had inherited from a friend. Even the friend couldn't get it unlocked. This service helped and I'm glad I found it. My unlock took longer than usual, a few days in fact. Wish I had gotten some email updates as I was anxious to know what was taking so long. When I did get an email it was saying my phone was unlocked and it worked with the SIM card over a wifi connection just like the instructions said in the email. So even though it took longer than expected they did exactly what they said and I'm happy.

Excellent service
December 4, 2015

I had moved to Australia and had my I phone locked to Vodafone UK. I tried numerous ways of getting the phone unlocked but to no avail. Someone recommended this site to me and I'm glad they did. The whole process took five days but I was kept informed throughout. I am very pleased with the service.

Superb and highly recommended
December 2, 2015

Very good service with clear instructions on how to unlock the device at reasonable cost. Kept me updated the progress through email so you will always be on track. The most important thing that you can still have the phone while it is being unlocked. Will recommend the service to my friends.

OfficialiPhone Unlock works
December 2, 2015

When I ordered for my iPhone unlock, I was given 1-5 working days. The next day I received a response from OfficialiPhone concerning my unlock. I was told my iPhone has been barred which I need to make another order to unbar it and will take between 1-20 working days, upon which my money will be refunded if the carrier cannot unbar. Fortunately for me, after 16 days my iPhone unlock was sent to me. Now I am enjoy my iPhone 5c without any hassle or worry, no jailbreak but outright unlock.

Very Good
December 2, 2015

I had to wait more or less 10 days using the premium service because it was locked from the provider. Very kind customer service but a bit expensive, but if you want high quality you have to pay more.

Unlock iPhone 4s
December 2, 2015

Unlock took 9 working days to complete rather than the 1-3 working days advertised. However, this was due to a backlog with Vodafone rather than with officaliphoneunlock. During this time I was kept completely up to date, receiving email updates every two days. Unlock was delivered over the air with no need to connect to iTunes. All in all a really good service and would recommend using this company again.

Best on the 'net
December 1, 2015

Used officialiphoneunlock about four or five times and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Best cost wise for a full factory unlock, dead easy to deal with and always get email updates on progress.
Five stars from me.

They are a third party with a website, say something but doing something else, take your money and never refund it, protecting themselves with a terms and condition.
Hundreds of innocent everyday, some fight for there money and some other not, they take from you to refund the other and so on

Dishonest and slow
November 30, 2015

Scam system. Tricks you into paying £20 upfront, say they don't refund this, then hit you for more after. Say it's in the fine print, in the T&Cs and FAQs. Who looks there for pricing? I ordered the unlock over a month ago. No communication about the delay unless I emailed for an update. Finally got it, and it does work, but I probably would have had the same success directly with Vodafone--I used this service because it promised to be faster.
