Great company

Great company, I trust them, but the phone I had I could tell might be a little bit of a longer period of time to unlock. I decided to ask for a partial refund due to the amount of time it was taking. They were so responsive and immediately refunded the partial amount with no questions. To be honest the phone was a Straight Talk phone from Walmart that I wanted to unlock. But I knew it might be complex and I needed to return the phone during my return window at Walmart before it was up. The Unlocking Company is absolutely amazing.

We truly appreciate your trust and understanding throughout the process. Some devices, including certain Straight Talk phones, can take longer to unlock due to carrier-specific requirements, and we're grateful that you understood the complexity.

We're glad we were able to quickly process the partial refund so you could return the phone within Walmart's return window. Our goal is always to work with our customers to find the best solution for their situation while providing prompt, transparent communication.

Thank you for choosing The Unlocking Company and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have the opportunity to help you again in the future!

They took my money with the promise to unlock, they couldn't unlock. They gave me lip service for 45 business day, claiming all kinds of FINE PRINT begging allow them to complete the process. 45 business days came and went NO REFUND - NO UNBLOCKED phone. Then they admitted they couldn't do the job and for me to provide the LAST 4 of the card used in order for them to process REFUND... guess what DEAD SILENCE they DO NOT ANSWER CALLS - RESPOND TO EMAILS.

PURE SCAM !!!!!

***Looking to get a device unlocked? Let us check before you order. Email sales@theunlockingcompany.com with your make, model, locked carrier and imei. We are always happy to check to see if your phone is blocked, blacklisted or if it can be unlocked at no cost***

Hello Freddy,

We're sorry you're frustrated, but we'd like to clarify a few points for transparency.

We have responded to every message we've received from you. **Nine days ago**, we emailed you requesting confirmation of the **last four digits of the payment card** to ensure your refund would be processed to the correct account and account was not closed. We did not receive a response.

After receiving your latest message 2 hours, we resent that request again minutes after receiving the email. We also sent another follow-up approximately 10 minutes ago after being notified of this review.

Please email sales@theunlockingcompany.com so we can verify the payment information and complete your refund.

We'd also like to clarify that blocked devices are not eligible for refunds under our Refund Policy. Despite that, we chose to make an exception and offer you a full refund as a gesture of goodwill, even though your order fell outside of our standard policy. We were simply waiting for your confirmation to ensure the refund was sent to the correct account.

Our goal remains to resolve this matter as quickly as possible, and we're ready to complete your refund as soon as we receive your response.

***Want us to check your phone before you order? Simply email sales@theunlockingcompany.com with your device make, model, locked carrier, and IMEI. We'll review your options and provide honest feedback before you spend a dime.***

We're sorry to hear you feel this way.

After reviewing our records, we were unable to locate an order under the name "ZoYerkiee." We've requested additional information through the TrustPilot platform and encourage you to email sales@theunlockingcompany.com with your order number, and the email address used to place the order so we can locate your order, review the information on the order sheet, and cross-reference it with our records.

We also noticed your review mentions that you've called, emailed, texted, and contacted support without a response. We take great pride in responding to every text message, WhatsApp message, phone call, voicemail, and email received during our business hours. If we've somehow missed a communication from you, we'd genuinely like the opportunity to investigate and correct that.

Based on the timeline in your review, your order was placed 4 days ago, which means it is still within the normal processing period for many of our services. While the average estimated timeframe for many unlocks is 1–72 hours, some devices and carriers require additional processing time depending on the unlocking method available.

Please contact us at sales@theunlockingcompany.com with your order details so we can investigate this immediately and provide you with a detailed update. We look forward to resolving this with you.

My Go-To Unlocking Company

I've tried several unlocking companies over the years, but I always end up coming back to The Unlocking Company. What I like is that they're actually providing an unlocking service rather than just telling you whether your phone is eligible. Sometimes I've chosen a premium service for a higher chance of success, and they've always been upfront about the cost and expectations. On the occasions when an unlock wasn't possible, they honored their refund policy. They've been consistent, helpful, and easy to work with every time. That's why they've earned my repeat business.

It truly means a lot to hear from a returning customer who has experience with other unlocking services. We're glad you've found value in the way we approach each order, working to actually unlock devices whenever possible, being transparent about the available options, and setting clear expectations from the start.

We stand by our word and show that in our consistency and our commitment to honoring our refund policy when an unlock isn't possible.

Thank you for choosing The Unlocking Company time and time again. We sincerely appreciate your loyalty and look forward to helping you with many more devices in the future!

Glad I Contacted Them First

I'll admit that some of the negative reviews made me hesitate before ordering. Instead of guessing, I emailed them first with my phone's information. They explained exactly what my options were before I spent any money. My phone ended up needing a premium service, but they told me that upfront, and once I decided to move forward, the unlock was completed quickly and worked on the first try. I really appreciated the honesty and transparency throughout the process.

Same-Day Unlock Saved My Trip

I needed my phone unlocked before leaving on an international trip the next day, so I was really stressed. I placed my order and, to my surprise, received my unlock the very same day. The instructions were simple, everything worked perfectly on the first attempt, and I was able to leave for my trip without worrying about my phone. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
