OfficialiPhoneUnlock reviews

they ask for a payment then they ask you for another payment and they keep on stealing you without results

TOTAL RIP OFF
seriously do not pay them any money, they will charge you for pre lock and then they will ask you for another £35 and so on
please read reviews below and go elsewhere !

SCAM! DO NOT USE!They advertise activation lock removal from £19.99, but they do NOT remove the lock for this price, they just tell you that you need to either have a proof of purchase or have the previous owners contact detail.If you want them to remove the activation lock, they ask you to pay ANOTHER £30! And even then they probably dont guarantee removal.I'd have top think how many £19.99's they have got from people without doing ANYTHING.They try to tell you that they have incurred costs doing all the verification, unlock eligibility checks etc, which is a load of rubbish!

I had a phone that they say they could not unlock; even after they have guaranteed it so. now they wont give a refund just a credit voucher to use against their "'premium" service that should be online in 30 days. Absolute rip off

All they do is steal your money, then no refund, and they certainly do not unlock your iPhone either.

Still no response or service. If you've been scammed, call your credit card company and submit a claim. They will refund within a few days. OIU.CO.UK hasn't been able to convince them otherwise. In fact, the only email I got from them was asking me to pull the claim so they can give me a voucher. Yeah right. lol
Again, if I pay a surprise itinital fee for your company to verify the unlock can be done and then you come back and say it CAN and charge me a surprise ADDITIONAL fee, then you should DEFINITELY be able to unlock it. NOT come back and say "oh sorry, your phone MIGHT be blacklisted!" Psshshhh. lol. Not gonna go with OIU.CO.UK ever again. (again, the phone was my friends' who paid it off years ago and has a great account.....this was a flat out scam)

I'm just echoing most of the others, same bait and switch and then no product delivery. Then they have the temerity to restate their Terms and Conditions in a threatening way.

cellunlocker, co, uk do not be fooled they are scammers ... they charge you for the unlocking of icloud 50 and once you have paid them ..... they send you an email where they indicate they can not do the unlocking and do not return the money alleging that they are the expenses of the management

iPhone Approved Unlock is a total scam. Nice website but they will just take your money and ignore you thereafter. Stay AWAY.

I paid for the service with initial fee only to receive email they need additional fee which I paid , it has been near two month and no unlock for my iphone and the only way to communicate is via email and they just respond with % of completion and no results. still after 2 months nothing.

This idiot's are just scammers stealing your money.They will even claim your phone is blacklisted or has outstanding balance even when you paid off the phone yourself! Reported them to the Texas attorney general office!

You must be aware that the payment you make is just a pre-order.
After some time when you receive the order confirmation email you'll understand the all picture.
Yes it's a scam and i believe that this company lives mostly with the revenues of orders that are never finished . After you understand you've been tricked you are not going to pay the extra amount they ask for.
My order was number 355401074474744

Payed 20 pounds and then after 1 day they requested another 80 to unlock the phone.
After doing more search found out that this is a big time SCAMMING site.
How come it's not banned yet?????

Absolutely do not fall for this trap like I did! Go to a shop or street seller! Paid the £12.99, said they would get back to me within 48 hours, emailed me at 1am asking for more money, which is when I searched the review sights and realised it was a scam! Don't fall for it!!

I should have researched this website before paying this website money. They claim that my IMIE is blacklisted(report lost or stolen) and offer me a voucher worth 36.49 pound to purchase an unlock for a different IMEI on their website. No way my IMIE is blacklisted since I bought it from the APPLE STORE. I do cross check online and my IMIE is clean. What should I do now?

I went and paid before seen the reviews and is a $#*!ing scam.they charge you to tell you if they can unlock it and they say yes we can pay another 50 pounds and then they tell you phone is been reported lost or stolen so we can't.I been only owner of this phone and I checked other websites to see if it was reported and is not.is obvious is a scam.cheack all positive reviews and there is not a single one mentioning how they charge you twice whit out telling you and all negative ones which are real every single one mention it.just walk away and don't lose your money.I just graduated from law and my first job will be to make sure this web site gets shut down

I Went into their trap yesterday as I needed an urgent unlock of an iPhone 7 to enable online tickets to be available. My own network provider told me after waiting for one week, they can't unlock it, as I bought it second hand.
I googled and found the webpage for officaliphoneunlock and all sounded well and the price of £19.99 was not too bad. So I went for it. At no stage during this process was there any mention of a further payment. I paid and waited. I checked the status and it was 25%. It remained there the whole of yesterday. Early this morning, remind you it is Sunday, I received an email telling me that my unlock is ready. All I have to do is pay £29.99 and they will email me the code and how to proceed. They also included in the email a potential charge the carrier (my network) may charge for their loss of me leaving the network with such an expensive phone and that I need to check that the phone is not activation locked.
I felt so sick in stomach, as this was not what I read and expected.
I put the phone aside and yes I internally prayed, as I am a believer in Christ. I opened my daily bible verses and the verse send to me today was that God's angels will protect me from all sides and deliver me (Psalm 34:7).
I calmed down and re-run a google search on how best to unlock the iphone 7 and to my amazement there was this webpage www.macworld giving advise on how best to unlock iPhones. Among his suggestions and my network provider was to put the new sim-card into the phone and connect the phone to a computer to itunes and than it will be unlocked. He mentions that he had not tried it but passed the advise on.
I tried it straight away and it worked. The minute we connected the phone to iTunes it just asked us to unlock the phone (your normal unlock code or finger scann, etc) and I saw the new network appearing on the phone and on iTunes the statement your phone is unlocked.
So easy and free. Thank you so much for the writer of macworld .
I just wanted to share this here and confirm it worked for us and our iphone7 and our providers.
It is worth a try and is free. All iTunes can say it worked or not. But you won't loose any money.

They don't deliver the unlock service but ask for further payments. Wrong statements on their website regarding their services. Stay away!

Wow, these guys know how to mooch money and they still exist under various names. I ordered the unlock on 13th, paid the 20 GBP (mind you I'm from India so this is almost 1.7 grand INR for me). Since it didnt move beyond 3% in over 24 hours (considering their TAT is 1-2 days), I paid another 10 GBP (yes, stupid me) to ''FAST TRACK.'' As soon as I paid, it jumped to 40%. And then? Once they took all the money they can from me, (unless they offer a faster than fast track facility), its stuck at 40%. I wrote 4 emails asking on the TAT and got ZERO response. Why aren't they blacklisted yet (at least in an apparent first world nation like the UK) is what's surprising me NOW that I know all their positive reviews are faff. Guess I got to put my law degree to use & sue them. Unfortunate decision, an even more unfortunate lot of scammers this website is.

They cannot unlock any iCloud locked devices which are currently sold by Apple, other than iPhone 5S and previous models which are discontinued by apple. Even if the device is a clean one they will make it a barred device which gives a msg (THIS SMARTPHONE IS UNCLEAN. This smartphone/tablet has been reported lost and is currently blocked by 1 or more networks.) You can check your device status on the website (cleancheck.me) prior to proceeding. I submitted proof that my devices are clean ones and they refused to process card refunds. And when it comes to iPad devices is also the same scenario, they only can unlock devices which are discontinued by apple. Please do not waste time submitting to remove iCloud or network locks which are currently sold by Apple and which are currently in contracts with any mobile network. They will not refund your money either. Please stay away from these scammers.

No unlock, no response to emails - paid over 80 since 16/06 - what a joke!

AVOID
