Worked but unclear on timing
August 30, 2024

I was excited when I found this website to help unlock my daughter's phone for a new provider. I wasn't so excited when I thought I had paid for the service and then was required to pay even more to actually get it unlocked. Then the timer said it has 23 hours left but it was actually a fee days before I received the unlock code. Customer service answered my questions quickly tho and the code did work.

Hi Brooke,

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad to hear that our customer service was responsive and that the unlock code worked for you. I understand your concerns about the multiple payments and the timing, which can indeed be a bit confusing.

Just to clarify, the initial payment for the Eligibility Check and the subsequent payment for the Standard Unlock are both necessary steps in the process for successfully unlocking your phone, as stated during checkout. The unlock process can sometimes take a bit longer than expected, but we're committed to ensuring the delivery of your unlock codes.

If your phone is not prompting for an unlocking code with a non-Spectrum SIM, please keep in mind that you may need to consider a Remote USB unlock option.

Thank you for choosing us for your unlocking needs! We're here to assist you further if you have any more questions.

Best wishes!

I followed every step they asked for and trusted the process. Here's what I paid: $28.99 for the "Eligibility Check" $50.00 for the "Standard Unlock" $96.00 for the "Premium Unlocking Service" That's $174.99 total — and after days of delays, status updates saying "99% complete," and endless copy-paste support messages, I was suddenly told my phone now needs an even higher tier unlock for another $247. They didn't honor their guarantee. Instead of refunding my money to my card, they gave me a credit note to try and keep me locked into their overpriced system. Now I have no unlock and no real refund — just more upselling. To make it worse, after leaving this review, I received an automatic, generic response pretending to address my concerns. It's the same robotic message they've been sending all along — no real solution, no accountability, just another delay tactic. This is a bait-and-switch operation. They give you hope, take your money in stages, and keep raising the cost. Avoid this service at all costs. You'll waste your time, patience, and hard-earned money.

Unlock Phone
March 21, 2025

Sure! Here's a balanced review you can use:

Rating: (2/5)

I paid for this service to unlock my phone, and while it did eventually work, the process took way too long. The wait was frustrating, and there wasn't much communication or transparency about the delay. If you're in a hurry, I wouldn't recommend it, but if you don't mind waiting, it does seem to get the job done—just not efficiently.

Hi Natalie, thanks for your honest review. I'm really sorry to hear the process took longer than you anticipated. We work hard to meet network guidelines, but I understand the wait can be frustrating. It’s great that your iPhone 16 Pro is now unlocked, and your feedback is really helpful as we look into improving communication and speeding up our process. Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with!

Do not waste your money. Scamed me for 80$ will not issue refund. Do not use this site. Will ask you to pay atleast twice. Pay once they hit you again with a msg you need to pay more. Once you pay more they tell you bs and keep your money.

Hi, I'm really sorry you're frustrated. Our charges cover both an Eligibility Check (which is non-refundable once completed) and the actual Unlocking Payment, as clearly outlined on the checkout page. I'd love to help resolve this for you—please get in touch with our Live Support using your IMEI reference so we can look into your order details. We're keen to work this out with you.

I switched providers and AT&T gave me trouble unlocking my phone although it was paid for, but this direct unlocks helped take care of it. The only thing I didn't like is that I wasn't told that it would be over a week but eventually they took care of it.

Apologies for the delay Myriam. We had to request your code from Samsung as AT&T weren't forthcoming with timely codes. Manufacturer codes always takes a little longer! I'm glad your phone is now successfully unlocked.

IPhone eSIM unlock
March 27, 2025

I would give the service a 5 star but I had to end up paying an extra 186 dollars for them to unlock the SIM card, plus it did take a while about a week and a half total to unlock, the service does work like it says but it is not quick.

Hi Kyle, thanks for the fantastic 5 stars and for sharing your experience. I understand it can be frustrating to pay for multiple components—the Eligibility Check, Standard Unlock, and Premium Service all have their specific costs, which are outlined on the checkout page before purchase. Sometimes network unlock times can take longer than expected, but I'm really glad everything worked as it should in the end. Thanks for your patience and your trust in our service!

I recently used DirectUnlocks to unlock my phone from my carrier, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The process was incredibly simple and straightforward—after providing my device details, I received clear instructions on what to expect. The turnaround time was impressive, and I was kept informed throughout the process, which gave me peace of mind. Their customer support was also responsive and helpful, answering any questions I had along the way.

What I appreciated most was the convenience and reliability of their service. Unlike other unlocking services that can be complicated or take too long, DirectUnlocks delivered exactly as promised in a timely manner. My phone was successfully unlocked without any hassle, allowing me to use it with my new carrier seamlessly. The whole experience was stress-free, and I would definitely use their service again in the future. I highly recommend DirectUnlocks to anyone needing a quick and easy phone unlock!

SCAMMERS - DO NOT USE THEM
March 24, 2025
Updated review

This company is a TOTAL SCAM - initially they say they will unlock your device for about £10, but once you pay the £10 they ask you for additional 20-30£! Then they tell you if you leave a good review they will give you £10 back, which never actually happens! ABSOLUTE SCAM - AVOID GIVING YOUR MONEY TO THESE SCAMMERS!

Hi Valentin, thanks for your feedback. I understand your frustration, and I’d like to clarify our process. Your order involved two clear steps: an Eligibility Check (£11.99) and a Standard Unlock (£26), as outlined on our checkout page. Every phone—like your Huawei Mate 20 Pro—requires these steps to ensure the unlock works correctly. I can see your unlock is now complete with code 3074293787898259. If you have any further concerns, please let me know, and I’ll be happy to help you out.

Hi Jay, I'm glad to hear your phone is now unlocked! I understand that seeing two charges can be a bit of a surprise. We do require separate payments—one for the Eligibility Check and one for the Unlock Payment—and all costs are clearly outlined on the checkout page before purchase. One thing I'm a little confused about is your mention of an S24 Ultra, as our records show your Samsung Galaxy S20 5G was unlocked. Could you let me know if there's something else going on? I'm here to help!
