They made me wait a whole week to see if they could unlock my phone. When they could not unlock it, they will not refund me. I have no use for credit with a company that cannot offer what they promised. They failed and made me wasted a whole week for nothing. I would never use this company again.

Hello Deuane,

I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience and the inconvenience caused by the wait and the outcome of your unlock request for your iPhone 11 from Boost USA. I understand that you were looking forward to having your phone unlocked, and it's disappointing to learn that our service did not meet your expectations.

Our policy is designed to provide clarity on refunds, and as mentioned under the "Hard-Locked Phones" section, such instances typically do not qualify for a refund. However, we issued a credit note, as per section 7.5, so you can use it against any sim unlocking service that may be beneficial to you in the future.

I realize this isn't the solution you were hoping for, and I apologize for the frustration this has caused. If there is another device you wish to unlock or if you believe there could be another service we offer that you could utilize, we invite you to use the credit towards that. We value your business and would appreciate the opportunity to assist you further in a way that may be more satisfactory.

Please let us know if there is any other way we can help you. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we hope to find a way to make this right for you.

Warm regards,
Charlotte

As promised but surprise price hikes to get there
February 13, 2024
Updated review

Phone locked out after a factory reset. Pay about 100 to unlock with their service and what do you know only after getting my 100 do they 'uncover' it will need another 300. I gave it up and the phone was unlocked but it felt quite bad how they could not 'know' this upfront and just be honest then. In the end it worked out but leaving a bad taste in my mouth and let my experience serve as a warning to you. The money and big words they throw around up front to hook you may be followed by having to follow with significant more money to get there.

Hello William,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We understand your concerns about the additional costs associated with unlocking your iPhone 13 Pro Max and appreciate that the process left you feeling frustrated. As laid out on our website, each phone first requires an Eligibility Check, with subsequent Unlocking Payment. These steps are necessary to ensure that the unlock process goes smoothly and successfully.

We always strive to provide clear information upfront during the checkout process, and we’re genuinely sorry to hear that this aspect did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will take it into consideration as we continually work to improve our services.

We're pleased to hear that your phone was ultimately unlocked and sincerely hope that you can now enjoy the full benefits of using your iPhone 13 Pro Max across different networks. Our goal is to ensure that every customer ends their journey with us on a positive note.

Should you require further assistance or have any additional feedback, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Best regards,

Charlotte

I paid the $30 to unlock my iPhone. Got the email to click here to complete the unlock only to learn I had now to pay another $50!

Their info did not really make it clear there was a
Second charge! I mean why two charges. Why not just make it $80?

Date of experience: February 11, 2024
Customer Service R. Direct Unlocks Rep

Hello Tim,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand that encountering an additional charge can be surprising. To clarify, the initial $28.99 you paid was for the Eligibility Check, ensuring your iPhone X meets the necessary criteria for unlocking from the AT&T USA network. After that, the $50 is for the actual Standard Unlock service. We ensure that all costs are transparent and outlined on the checkout page prior to purchase.

It's a two-step process because unlocking a phone is a service that often requires different levels of verification and work, depending on the phone’s status with the network provider.

We appreciate that you chose us because we appeared legitimate and the initial price seemed reasonable to you. We strive to provide clear and upfront information regarding our fees and service structure, as described in our terms and conditions. If anything was less clear than we intended, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Your unlock is now complete, and we hope you are satisfied with the service provided. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please let us know.

Thank you for your understanding and for choosing Direct Unlocks.

Best regards,
Charlotte

Little bit delay but unlock
February 9, 2024

Service is amazing but I think the amount for device unlocking is totally unpredictable like in the beginning they asked for 25$ to start the process then 70$ to unlock the phone and at that time you are very happy that only in 95$ our phone gets unlocked but all of sudden the new charges appears that is a carrier charges that we need to pay and it's between from 300$ to 700$ then you get shocked now what to do so I think they tell us first how much they charge and what will be carrier fee etc so customer mentally prepared if he wants to unlock the phone or not

Hello Syed Azeem,

Thank you for your review and kind words about our customer service. I understand that the cost associated with unlocking your iPhone 14 Pro Max from AT&T USA came as a surprise after the initial payment. I would like to clarify that our process involves an Eligibility Check, followed by the actual Unlocking Payment.

As per the transaction records, you have completed the Eligibility Check with a payment of $28.99 and the Standard Unlock with a payment of $50. Finally, the Premium Service for a more complex unlock was provided at $302.

All potential costs are indeed outlined on the checkout page before purchase, ensuring transparency. Since your device's "Unlock Complete" status indicates a successful service, I encourage you to enjoy the freedom of using your iPhone with any carrier.

Should you need further assistance or clarification, we're here to help. We value your business and are committed to your satisfaction.

Best regards,
Charlotte

Hello,

I'm truly sorry to hear that you're unhappy with the service. We aim to provide a transparent and trustworthy unlocking service, and the satisfaction of our customers is very important to us. If you're facing difficulties or if there seems to be a misunderstanding, we would like to look into this matter and provide you with the appropriate assistance.

However, without an IMEI number or reference, it's challenging to address your specific concerns thoroughly. I kindly ask you to use the Live Support feature on your tracking page so our team can assist you directly and resolve any issues you might be experiencing. Rest assured, our policies, including the Refund Policy, are outlined clearly to ensure our customers are informed about the process and the conditions under which refunds can be provided.

We are here to help and would be grateful for the opportunity to turn your experience around.

Best regards,
Charlotte

Quick unlock

Quick easy cost more than I expected, did not realise there would be a second payment until we got to it

Hello Mrs. Lawson,

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry there was some confusion regarding the cost. To clarify, the initial £23.99 payment was for the Eligibility Check to ensure your iPhone 11 Pro from EE UK could be unlocked. The subsequent £26 payment was for the Standard Unlock service itself.

We always strive to be transparent with our pricing, and all costs are outlined on our checkout page before finalizing your purchase. With your order status reading "Unlock Complete," your iPhone 11 Pro should now be fully unlocked and ready to use!

If you need further assistance or have additional questions, feel free to reach out. We're here to ensure a positive experience and appreciate the opportunity to clarify any concerns you might have.

Best regards,
Charlotte

Hello Joseph,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear that the process took longer and was costlier than you expected. I see that you urgently needed your Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G unlocked, and we aimed to meet that expectation within the usual timeframe. On some occasions, unlocking can take a little longer due to factors outside of our control, but we always aim to keep you updated on the status.

Regarding the costs, I'd like to assure you that our pricing is transparent and all charges are outlined on the checkout page prior to purchase. As you have paid $28.99 for the Eligibility Check and $118 for the Standard Unlock, this two-step process is necessary to ensure the compatibility of your phone with the service and to perform the unlock.

Now that your phone's status is "Unlock Complete" with the provided codes, your Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G should be ready to work with other networks. If you encounter any issues or your phone doesn't prompt for an unlocking code with a non-AT&T SIM card, we are here to help you through a Remote USB Unlock service that is specially designed for such scenarios.

We appreciate your choice to use our service for a fast unlocking need, and we're glad we could help, albeit not as swiftly as you'd hoped. If there's any further assistance you need to ensure a smooth experience with your now unlocked phone, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear that you are not fully satisfied with the experience. I'd like to clarify that the initial payment you made is for the Eligibility Check, which is a necessary step to ensure that your phone can be unlocked. The subsequent charge you are referring to would be for the actual Unlocking Service. Our costs are outlined on the checkout page before any purchase is made, to ensure that you have all the information needed to make an informed decision.

I understand your concerns regarding the costs involved, and I'm here to help. To address this issue and assist you properly, I would require your IMEI number to locate your order in our system. Without this reference, it's challenging for me to provide a specific resolution to your concern.

In the absence of your IMEI, I recommend using the Live Support feature on your tracking page for assistance so that our team can resolve your issue promptly. Our goal is to provide you with a positive experience, and we'd like to ensure that you benefit from our service.

If you'd like to proceed with a refund request, I would be more than happy to look into this for you once I have your order details. Our Refund Policy outlines the criteria for eligibility, and we handle each case with utmost care to ensure a fair outcome.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I look forward to helping you further.

Best regards,
Charlotte
