Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that there has been some confusion regarding the payment structure for our unlocking services.

Please allow me to clarify that the initial $24.99 represents the cost for the eligibility check. As stated on our website and during checkout, all phones require this Eligibility Check first. Thereafter, if the phone is eligible, there is an Unlocking Payment to complete the process, and all costs are outlined prior to finalizing your purchase.

We're committed to transparency and I apologize if this wasn't clear in your experience. We definitely don't want you feeling like you've been misled—that's not our intention. Our goal is to provide a legitimate unlock service, which includes the necessary steps to make sure your phone can be unlocked.

Thank you for understanding, we look forward to resolving any issue to your satisfaction.

Best regards,
Charlotte

💯 a scam

They never send you the code, they take your money and pretend you’re gonna get a code? Then ask you for more money and if you refuse they tell you the initial money is forfeit. Stupid scam. Avoid like the plague. Time to file a chargeback.

In your case, it seems like you only paid for the Eligibility Check, but a final payment is required to deliver the Unlock Code.

Unlock your phone by your own phone provider

A fake unlock code was never sent. Service was not rendered. A full refund compensation has been approved, but not to your charge cards. They call it a reserve account, they established for you, without my approval. Meaning they pocket your money. A dispute with my banks is initiated. As of December 9, 2023, My report about this outfit has been filed and accepted by the Hong Kong Police Department, (Internet Crime Division) Thank you, my bank cards refunded the money. And you guys are fake as a 3$ Hong Kong Bill. Case closed. I got my 💰 back according to my policy. All positive placements are stolen from doctorsim, do not trust them. You all have been warned!

First and foremost, I want to thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us and providing detailed feedback. It's important for us to address your situation and ensure that you are fully informed about the process and the status of your order.

Regarding your current order status being 'Hard-Locked', according to our terms, "Any unlocks which come back as Hard-Locked by the network will be refunded in the form of a Credit Note, due to the amount of work required in attempting to perform this unlock." This is in line with our policies as noted in sections 7.e of our terms and conditions.

We strive to ensure a positive experience and it's clear that we have not met the standard you expected on this occasion. While you have expressed disappointment and reluctance to use our service again, I would encourage you to consider utilizing your credit note for any future unlocking needs as our team is committed to providing satisfactory resolutions.

If you have further concerns or need clarification on the credit note or any other matter, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to assist you through this process to the best of my ability.

Pricey, but got results

While the overall was pricey, I did get a technician that I needed to do a live chat to get it to finally unlock. They patiently took me through the process and go it working.

Over 2 weeks and still 99% and no reply from the company

I ordered to unlock my iPhone 14 Pro Max on the 10th of November 2023. 16 days passed already and progress is 99%. The company has not replied to my email and I have no idea what to do now. I will ask my bank for a refund and warn all the people here to be really cautious with this website. I have no idea how they got so much positive feedback from such poor customer service. I feel cheated so far...
