They advertise as instant to unlock your phone. You pay one fee then another larger one to actually do anything. So once I seen immediately that the instant thing was bull I called and got it unlocked myself free and instantly which I didn't know how to do originally but figured it out. So the same hour that I paid for this crappy lying service I emailed and said to immediately cease the unlocking process because I have just done it and have new service I don't want messed up. And I want a refund of the second fee of $63 dollars. So days of back and forth emails with Anna she assured me more times than I can count that yes I was going to get a refund and that she would personally see that the process was ceased. This went on for days and she said be patient I'm personally working on this for you. So today I get an email from Anna saying that the unlocking process has completed and since it did so I would not get my refund. Oh hell no! So her job was literally to delay me long enough for it to finish the unlocking process so they can say I didn't deserve a refund. I am not only contacting further support members until this is resolved but I am contacting the better business bureau and plastering this all over the place so this scam service will crash and burn and never get to hustle people again. I will assure that it's worth it to me to make you show your true colors to people you are trying to scam this way and you will never hear the end of this from me until my refund is in my hands that was promised to me as well as conned out of me by Anna directly tricking me to think she was helping me when she was simply delaying things until it was done. I had better have my refund sent to me today that's all because your $#*!ty con scam will not continue. I don't care if it's only $63. That is a lot in this world for being scammed out of. $#*! liar $#*! $#*! Anna and your whole $#*!ing company. $#*! you! Scam artists and in case you didn't know it false advertising has a a crime.

Hello Carrie Miller,

Thank you for reaching out and expressing your concerns. I'm truly sorry to hear about the frustration you've experienced with the service and the communication surrounding your unlock request.

Since your unlock for the iPhone SE 2020 from StraightTalk USA is complete, typically, according to our terms, services rendered are not eligible for refunds. However, I fully understand your situation and why you'd expect a refund, especially after being assured by our representative.

I'd like to make sure your case is handled with the attention it deserves. Could you please provide me with the email thread or reference number from your conversation with Anna? That will help me look into this matter further and see what can be done in light of the assurance you were given.

While immediate resolution in the form of a refund might not be guaranteed, as per our policy outlined in your message, I do want to assure you that your feedback is taken very seriously. I'm here to help you through this and will do my best to address your concerns.

I look forward to your reply so we can work towards a suitable resolution.

Best regards,
Charlotte

Unsatisfied
April 14, 2024

Unlock codes didn't work. And I was denied a refund.

Date of experience: April 4, 2024
Customer Service R. Direct Unlocks Rep
over a year old

Hello Michelle,

I'm sorry to hear that the unlock codes did not work for your Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. I understand how important this is for you and I'm here to help. Our records show that you've made two payments, one for the Eligibility Check and another for the Standard Unlock.

As mentioned in our terms, we're unable to issue a refund if your Android phone doesn't prompt for an unlocking code when using an incompatible SIM card (as per our refund policy), but we can certainly move forward with an alternative solution to unlock your device.

Since unlocking codes are not effective in this situation, it seems that your phone may require a Remote USB Unlock. This method can unlock your phone directly and may incur an additional fee, however, it's a robust solution when codes are not applicable.

I encourage you to consider proceeding with the Remote USB Unlock to achieve the unlocking you need. We want to ensure you have a positive experience and can use your phone as desired. If you have any more questions or are ready to go ahead with this service, please let us know and we will be pleased to assist you further.

Best regards,
Charlotte

I was skeptical at best when I found Direct Unlocks via a Google search, my bank even flagged the purchase as suspicious... But I took the risk anyway, and could not be happier! Took a few days to get my schedule to align with the technician from India, but once connected it took him less than 10 minutes to get my Verizon phone unlocked and working on the Total Wireless Sim. Was a little pricey for the live technician service, but still saved me from having to buy the same phone from Total for $499...

Hola José, gracias por comunicarte y brindarnos tus comentarios. ¡Estamos encantados de saber que tu Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G de Sprint USA ya está desbloqueado y listo para usar! Agradecemos su nota sobre el proceso de pago. Solo para aclarar, como se describe en nuestra página de pago, todos los teléfonos requieren una verificación de elegibilidad, por la cual usted pagó $28,99. Después de esto, fue necesario el pago de desbloqueo de $50.01 para continuar con el servicio estándar, los cuales completó con éxito. Estamos comprometidos a garantizar que nuestros clientes tengan una experiencia positiva y su estado de desbloqueo "Desbloqueo completo" indica que se cumplió su solicitud de servicio. Si tiene algún problema o no está seguro de cómo utilizar los códigos de desbloqueo "77892288" proporcionados, estamos aquí para guiarlo a través del proceso. Si descubre que su teléfono no solicita un código de desbloqueo con una tarjeta SIM que no sea de Sprint, háganoslo saber. El siguiente paso sería un desbloqueo remoto de USB, que es un servicio adicional diseñado específicamente para este tipo de situaciones. Lo valoramos como cliente y estamos aquí para ayudarlo con cualquier consulta o soporte adicional que pueda necesitar. ¡Disfruta de la libertad de tu dispositivo desbloqueado! Saludos cordiales, Carlota

Totally disappointed
April 13, 2024

After initial enthusiasm for attempting to resolve my difficulties, you appear to have done something to totally disable my 'phone, issued me with a useless credit note, and now I find no way of communicating with you, as the response page of your system is locked.

Hello Robert Snook,

I truly apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this matter has caused. It's concerning to hear that your phone has encountered issues after our service attempts, and I understand how disappointing it can be to face communication barriers when seeking resolution.

Regarding the credit note provided, it's intended as a measure to offer value and can be used toward any sim unlocking service we offer. I'd be more than happy to address the problem and guide you towards a positive resolution.

About the locked response page – this shouldn't be the case, and I would like to rectify this promptly. Your experience is important to us, and we want to ensure a clear line of communication with our team. Please reach out to us through an alternative method, such as a direct email to our support team or using the contact form on our website, quoting your order number and explaining the issue.

We are here to assist you through the unlocking process, and since your order status is "Awaiting Payment for Remote USB Unlock", we would like to proceed with this step, ensuring that your Motorola XT1774 is fully functional and unlocked from Verizon USA.

We genuinely hope to regain your trust and offer a solution that meets your expectations without the need for refunding as per our policies. If there's anything specific you'd like to address or require further assistance with, please let us know, and we'll make it our priority.

Best regards,
Charlotte

Hello Kweku Yeboah,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. I understand you have insights regarding the payment structure for our services. To clarify, we provide a transparent breakdown of costs associated with unlocking your Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G. The process involves an initial Eligibility Check priced at $28.99, followed by the actual Unlocking Payment which you've completed for $118, as stated clearly on our checkout page.

Each step ensures we can deliver the service you need. Since your order status reflects "Unlock Complete", it appears your service has been successfully fulfilled. If you are facing any issues with using the unlocking codes provided "NCK=8608282908138403 MCK=5962953649050572", please don't hesitate to reach out, and we will be glad to assist you.

Hi Ian Rochester,

I'm sorry to hear about the frustration you've experienced. I can clarify that the initial $28.99 you paid was for the Eligibility Check, and the $118 was for the Standard Unlock of your Galaxy S23 Ultra from AT&T USA. All costs are upfront and outlined during the checkout process.

I understand your concern about additional payments, but I'd like to assure you that our processes are standard. Phones have unique requirements for unlocking, and while unlocking codes work for most, your particular case seems to require a Remote USB Unlock due to your phone not prompting for an unlocking code. This is an additional service with an additional fee, as reflected in your order status.

It's great to see that you've been refunded for the Standard Unlock payment since that method was unsuccessful for your phone. If you choose to proceed with the Remote USB Unlock, it's designed to help when codes are not applicable.

We strive to make sure every customer has a positive experience, and I would be happy to guide you further through the process to get your Galaxy S23 Ultra unlocked if you decide to continue.

Warm regards,
Charlotte
