Know what you are getting into...
August 2, 2023

I felt as though it was a BAIT & SWITCH scheme. Here is my reasoning: 1st you are charged a $25 fee to check your device to see if it was reported stolen, lost or BLOCK LISTED. Once the results are out you are aske to pay another $64 to get the release codes. No where on their site does it mention these actions taken by Direct Unlocks. As I was already in for the $25...I opted to spend the $64 for the release codes. It took them aprox. 12-hours to email me the codes, as opposed to their advertised statement of 6-hours. Now here's the best part! Their standard unlock instructions were fine for I'm sure most of the brands, however for this Sam Sung A03s it did not apply. I contacted via e-mail & was told that on their site it said that the prompting is necessary before placing the order for the codes. Agian there is no verbage on the site stating this. UNLOCK has very poor customer service in this area. I understand that the service is to only provide the unlock codes, & not trouble-shoot device problems. Luckily I was able to find the unlock code to open the unlock window for the device. I then entered the codes provided by UNLOCK & my device then became unlocked.

Deceived
August 1, 2023

The initial ad said £23.99 to unlock phone, so I paid that and after sound a few checks the program asks for a final payment of £25.99 to actually unlock the phone.
Felt a bit like a scam at the time. Ad should just say £50 to unlock phone. Much clearer and wouldn't feel as though your being scammed.

Until now the unblock been working, thanks. Still working, but you need to put the complete price of the unlocks devices, it's a little expensive but it works. The publicity on internet works very good.

Scam!
July 31, 2023

I paid over $100cad to have my phone unlocked only to get a message that unlock was rejected and I needed to pay another $100 to get more help. I have contacted the company several times and never received a response. Will be filing these as fraud charges for services not rendered with my credit card company.

Definite Scam
July 31, 2023

I paid for my phone to be unblocked, with an initial small amount. After the first payment ($28.99) the company sent me to a page that said "My process was ongoing, and but they would require more money". So far without provided the promised service of unlocking, at this point, they promised to unlock with a further "$45". I paid the extra $45 they asked for, considering at this point that $73.99 would be worth the hassle. After both payments total I have been waiting for phone to be unlocked and no news... for 3 days.

*****Update! --Total Scam.
I waited 3 days for my phone to be unlocked, and as my bank payment cleared, they reached out with a "your phone is not possible to unlock this device with a remote unlock code via IMEI." This is sent to me AFTER their website clearly and unambiguously labeled my phone as model and company in their website, and they promised to unlock immediately after each payment. After Payments were made, they asked for 2-3 days... and after, they said I need a remote technician (see automated reply below from their company fyi).

Now, they "acredited" me $45 USD, and they are charging me $220 USD (minus $45, so $175 USD) to have a live technician unlock my phone. This would mean, they want a total of $203.99 for the service.
I can easily go to sites that will get me this done for $160 USD with no bull, and no wait. However, this company has failed to keep their promise, and has taken 3 day of my overseas vacation, where I am unable to communicate because of the current wait.

I consider my money lost.

Here is the IMEI Number: **************
(as proof of my review)

I will update/edit my review and update if anything changes. As of July 4th (3 days after original review) they did not follow up with their promise, and want to take more money from me.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.

Scams
July 29, 2023

Scams, don't try. They will lie to you and will charge you. They first ask $28 then ask you to pay another $45. You will notice it's a scam when you get their email in spam. Don't use it.
