2 days ago I paid to have my iPhone unlocked. A day later they changed the unlock price and told me that I only paid a "pre-order price" and now I need to pay a much larger price for the unlocking. I asked for a refund and my email to them was blocked by their system. Please stay away! This company is shady shady shady!
I paid to have my phone unlocked paid all all the asking fees. It's been over 2months and they have not unblocked my phone. When I first reached them out they told me they were doing a "system maintenance" and now I keep getting the same answer week after week:
Please be assured that your unlock is processing and we are chasing completion. For up to date tracking information please login to order tracking through the website where all information regarding your order can be viewed

Total scam!
One of many scam sites that hover just within the law of ripping people off, quote one price but charge a further price ignore any complaints refuse to answer or provide complaints or legal contact details
You pay what looks like an unlock fee, but this is a pre check for the unlock step. Total for an iPhone 8 was €110. Didn't continue with the unlock as site is not transparent with its charges and can't be trusted. Their MO is intentional, no assurance given to comply with clear pricing - https://www.asa.org.uk/non-compliant/intercomms-ltd.html
Avoid those scammers, they will get your money and instead of getting your phone unlocked they will ask you to pay much more money to complete the unlock or you lose what you already paid. Do not believe any of the positive comments, this website is a scam
My phone is locked to EE. This company charged me £24 and within 24 hours they emailed me that i need to pay another £24 if I want my phone to be unlocked. And if I don't pay I cannot get my phone unlocked. EE later on told me that no company can unlock my phone anyways as this can only be done by EE.
I paid this company £15.00 to unlock my I phone sadly they not only failed to contact me after the payment but they sent another invoice for £71 to complete the unlock! I've since read dozens of reviews stating exactly the same thing. Check out Trust adviser website, I placed an honest review on Trustpilot and after a couple of months they removed my review stating approvediphoneunlock had reported my review as they didn't believe I had been a customer of theirs, so I've sent Trustpilot my invoice from them and the day they may reinstate my review. This company is very untrustworthy.
They ask you for $20 to unlock your phone and then they send you email asking you for $300 to complete the unlocking if you don't agree they will take the $20 according to their terms and conditions that you accepted to continue, F* Scam
They tell you they can unlock you iCloud for you but then turn around and say they can't because the find my phone is activated the very thing they promise to remove and then ask for another $71.00 to remove it for you
They said cheap price but when they are finished they send you a new revised price way higher than expected saying blabla about phone subsidiaries by the carrier. Make no sense for a 6-year-old phone paid way over time. Do use them.
I don't know who is their client market but if you're the average joe bloggs looking to get your phone unlocked and think you're about to pay £25 you're in for a shock! You're looking at close to £100! You can get it done for a tenner at a phone kiosk! I was trying to be computer savvy and stay in due to Co-Vid but totally got scammed by these guys! If there was an option to pay by PayPal I would of so I could of won my money back from you fraudulent punks.
First of all, this company shows price 25 usd and when you purchasing they make you pay more, in my case was 75 usd more. Even so after 1 month waiting they couldn't do their job, and charged me anyway, refunding less then half. My phone wasn't blacklisted as I checked it before placing my order. So for me it's just a scam and robe! Beware and don't have business with them.
Avoid, Avoid, Avoid. Like other people I was taken in by their apparently honest description of what I am paying for, £17.99 to have my phone unlocked. And yes, the next email asks for another £46 79p they are a very dishonest, unscrupulous setup.
I read the reviews on their site, obviously all false, no one will be "delighted" with their rip off scam.
There has to be a way of getting them stopped from scamming the public. I should have gone to the shop where I can get it done for under £20!
I paid for the pre-order so they could verify the ability to unlock my phone. After confirmation, I paid the remaining amount to have my phone unlocked from Sprint. I was promised a timeline of 1 to 7 days. 7 days came and went, then 14, them a month. After 33 days I told that my phone can be unlocked and was offered at refund of only 50% of the unlock fee. Completed lack of accountability. Do not use.
Ordered an unlock for my iPhone and like others proceeded through the process and discovered the hidden costs along the way. However, I was happy to pay the money at the time as I was desperate to have a phone that worked as I had just changed service providers but my phone was locked to original provider (Telstra).
That was now 35 days ago and I still do not have my "unlock" that I paid for despite numerous requests for a refund my requests have basically been ignored.
I would not recommend this company to anyone!
Dont fall in the trap of the 17$ initial cost. Once you pay this, then they have power on you. They tell you if you want your phone unlock, you need to pay an extra 63$, and you dont have a choice. But even after you pay those 63$ extra, they keep asking you for more information and money. And you already paid 80$ so you have no choice to continue with them or loose that money. They dont answer the phone or give you a human response by email, its always you unlocking process is about to get completed. Its a scam big time!
First of all, this company shows a price of 24 USD and when you purchasing they make you pay more, in my case was 90 USD more. Even so, after 14-15 days of waiting they couldn't do their job saying that my phone is blocked, and charged me anyway, refunding less than half. My phone wasn't blacklisted as I checked it before placing my order. So for me, it's just a scam and robe! Beware and don't have business with them.
You can provide an any digits combination and they will tell you it is eligible for a service and will charge you for that. Then will ask you to pay 10 times more to complete the service even for non existing device
No service provided, no refund received
I paid $39 to see about getting the iPhone lock removed from my 6S iPhone. They responded back a few days later saying that I would have to pay another $327 on top of the money I already gave them to get the iPhone unlocked. So it's essentially $366 to get you iPhone unlocked. I can get a new iPhone 6S off eBay cheaper than that.
Answer: It's a scam! I lost my money, they didn't unlock and didn't proceed full refund after 1 month waiting
