“A+++ Very Trustworthy”

So fantastic. The team at UnlockBase are the best, most helpful bunch. I've gone with others before and undoubtedly, I'm left to pay more with them after a switch and bait. With UB, if you tell them upfront what the issues are, they will work to identify the right product. It might take a bit of time since they have to work with their liaisons, but they will come back with an answer. Definitely use them. They are worth it and guarantee every transaction, which is great!

“Promised to unlock my AT&T phone within 10 days, nothing. FRAUD”

No response to email, no unlock as promised within their time-frame. Wish I'd read the truth about these scammers. Do yourself a favor, DON'T.

Tip for consumers:
Like all other services, they work using liaisons so they are only as good and as fast as as their liaisons. It took a couple of weeks to get feedback and my phone unlocked but they got it done!

I had a great experience with UnlockBase. Their communication before and after I paid was fast and friendly. They were quick to answer my questions. In the end the unlock of my iPhone took a few days longer than their estimate but they did in fact unlock it when I didn't think it could be done. I'm very happy.

I was skeptical at first since there are many sites promising that they are able to remove the sim lock of your phone but turns out to be a scam as you can check for tons of Reddit posts. Therefore I was surprised that they were able to unlock my T-Mobile US iPhone 13 with their Pro service tier. Other solutions like R- SIM don't allow to upgrade latest iOS / prevent eSIM / damage your SIM card slot. Even if you remain skeptical you have no risk offer a refund if unlock fails / accept PayPal.

The service was great, the steps where clear and checking out the reviews gave me some peace of mind before submitting my payment. It was a little worrisome to be holding for about a day and a half before getting the code, but that was still well beyond the 72 hour expectation. The prrocess was straigtforward and inspired confidence, specially since I'm using it from outside any major city. Give it a shot!

I was truly afraid to try an unlocking service especially learning that most are scams. I decided to try unlock base...I did not get my unlock code but I was refunded immediately so I'm happy about that. They also said as a courtesy they would still provide the code free of charge when their supplier responds

I was skeptical, whether should I buy or not. I was just scammed for one of those pre-ordered services. I went shopping around and found UnlockBase, gotta say their service is cheap and straightforward. I was an UnlockRiver customer and they lost me to UnlockBase competitive pricing.

Now I can travel internationally with my new iPhone 15 Pro and use it as I want.

Thanks!

I recently used UnlockBase to unlock my phone, and although the final outcome was satisfactory, the journey was quite challenging.

I paid $100 for their phone unlocking service and expected a smooth process. However, it took them four months to deliver the service I paid for. During this time, communication from UnlockBase was unclear, and it was difficult to get a straight answer about the status of my unlock request or the reasons for the delays.

Despite these issues, I must acknowledge that Sam, the CEO of UnlockBase, personally reached out to me and provided the assistance I needed to unlock my phone. I appreciate his intervention and the eventual resolution of my issue.

While I'm happy with the final outcome, the lengthy process and the effort it took to push the company to complete their job were frustrating. If you're considering using UnlockBase for phone unlocking services, be prepared for potential delays and communication challenges. However, it's worth noting that they did ultimately deliver on their promise, albeit with significant effort on my part.

I am very satisfied with the services received from unlockbase. The price was affordable, the website was easy to maneuver and I was able to quickly and easily make a transaction. Once the payment was made I almost immediately received a thank you email confirming that my order was being processed. Less than 24 hours later I received another email with a working unlock code.
Everything works and I am a happy customer.

This business is a real scam!
They pretend that they are professionals, the reality they are NOT.
I am senior data scientist with Google for 15years now, so please let others know about this business.
I thought that you are professionals

Now after 5days of waiting I definitely conclude that you are not professionals!

Please do a refund right away.

Hi,

We are sorry for the waiting time! This IMEI is currently still in process with the Samsung supplier as they are working unstable which slows down processing for all unlocking vendors including us right now and we expect this to be cleared shortly. If you cannot wait further please let us know and we will cancel/refund your order.

Thank you for your patience!

After much research, UnlockBase had the best reviews. I was skeptical at first, but it paid off in the end. I got worried when I saw the service was taking longer than advertised, BUT they responded the next day to my email. They offered a full refund AND would continue working on getting the codes if I didn't get them by Monday. With COVID everything seems to be slower so just have patience. UnlockBase won't let you down!

Tip for consumers:
Be patient because it could take longer than their estimated wait time. If you have any questions or concerns, reach out to them.

Gave them a clean imei of the device. It's been 7 to 8 days. No status update of the device. I don't know which people are saying that they respond promptly. But I am disappointed. I ordered through the website after seeing the reviews. Now those reviews seem very biased.
