While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Asked for a further fee not told about

Asked for a further fee not told about. Paid my £15 then got a request for a further fee of £46 to release the unlock code. This is not right and it should have been said upfront if there were further fees. I woulkd recoment you dont use this site.

"Unofficial SIM Unlock" - a waste of time!

"Unofficial SIM Unlock" is a waste of time! It said the unlock would be "Instant" but I've now been waiting 12 hours and its STILL at 20%!
Added later - And now 34 hours later I'm informed my mobile has finally passed the unlocking checks but will be fully unlocked only after I pay a second payment of $96! This second amount wasn't mentioned until the final payment page. Another mobile I paid the first $28 to have unlocked has just gone into the rubbish bin! May I suggest to anyone wishing to unlock their phone, its quicker and easier (and less damaging to one's mental health!) to just buy an unlocked mobile for $130 rather than going thru' this process! I should've just stuck with Telstra.
