Absolute scam

Absolute scam. They take your money and wait 24 hours until its in their account. Then you receive an email saying your phone can't be unlocked and a refund will be sent. No refund ever comes!! Untrustworthy scammers!

Total scam!!! Any network provider does it for free!

Total scam. Took my money, phone still locked. Never replied to my emails. They need to provide the code to unlock it, but never did. I then found out your network provider can give the unlock code FOR FREE!!!! And it only takes a few minutes to do!!!

DO NOT BUY FROM THESE!

I spent £25 buying two orders because I wasn't sure what network my old phone was on. I received two separate email orders with failure to unlock on both. They promised me a refund and within 5 to 7 days. Ice been scammed. I've disputed this with my bank. The law in the UK entitles the bank to pay me the money back. I'm hopefull.

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM

SCAM SCAM SCAM
A 100% scam. No refund after 2 months, countless emails. Literally, a fraudulent website.
2 phones to unlock, 3 fails.
Why 3 you ask. 2 fails are from them being unable to unlock 2 simple phones....the 3rd fail is me, using them the 2nd time.
Avoid. Absolutely useless, pointless service.

SCAM site

SCAM site. I paid and it took longer than the 24 hours to get a response. I emailed asking for the status. I then received an email that they were unable to provide a code for my phone and would issue a refund within 10 business days.

I did not receive a refund. I emailed again, no response. Emailed AGAIN no response. I will need to go through my bank to issue a chargeback. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
