Just be patient, it works...

At first it was a little difficult and passed the 72 hours mark. The company always emailed me letting me know updates. It wasn't easy for them so we had to use my windows pc for more assistance. I followed their steps which was very clear and easy to do. We finally got the phone unlocked! Some phones just need a little bit more time so be patient... It works

After they could not unlock the phone they send email about getting a credit and not a refund
Only deal with a company who offers a full refund if lock is unsuccessful not some store credit that you will most likely never use.

We are always happy to check to see if we can unlock before any purchase is made if you contact us directly, sales@theunlockingcompany.com

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration. To clarify, our service is for network unlocking your device so you can use other carriers and while many requests are completed within the estimated 72 hour timeframe, some devices require additional processing due to carrier-level restrictions outside of any third party’s control.

If a device is not unlocked within the original 72 hours, we continue working on the request at no additional cost as well as provide store credit until all available options have been fully exhausted.

If we ultimately cannot unlock the device, a full refund is issued, as outlined on your receipt, our Terms & Conditions, and on our website.

We understand that expectations can differ, and we encourage customers to review our policies prior to ordering to ensure the service is the right fit. If you’d like us to review your specific order, please contact sales@theunlockingcompany.com directly and we’ll be happy to help with a refund or anything further

Hello Narcisse, Thank you for messaging us (sales@theunlockingcompany.com) before purchase and allowing us to check and make sure your phone could be unlocked before you purchased

Happy we could unlock the device when others could not. Little confused of the 1 star rating for unlocking the device and the positive review but thank you for sharing

I requested an unlock

I requested an unlock, I paid $39.9 for the unlock. I probably waited the time they requested, which was three days. It was expected that they would register that the message was getting longer and the unlocking time was getting longer. It is important to note that my device is not reported as stolen and is not reported as lost, and all the money was paid for it. Despite this, they were unable to unlock it. My phone is pixel 9 pro xl

Every IMEI is different unfortunately and although not every phone can be unlocked you are guaranteed a 100% REFUND ***For potential customers, please email us at sales@theunlockingcompany.com and we are happy to check before you purchase***.

We’d like to clarify that the 1–72 hour timeframe is an estimated average, not a guarantee with this order at the time of this 1 star review being posted at the 72 hours and 10 minute mark. While many devices are completed within that window, some, including certain Google Pixel devices, can have carrier-side or account-level restrictions that prevent third-party unlocking, even when the device is fully paid off and not reported lost or stolen. Unfortunately, those restrictions are not visible until the unlock request is submitted.

When an unlock cannot be completed after all available options are attempted, you are refunded, we do not simply stop without resolution instead we work with the customer directly regarding next steps which includes the 100% refund option.

If you’d like us to review your order details again or assist further, please contact us directly at sales@theunlockingcompany.com so we can make sure everything is properly addressed.

We’re sorry to hear that this experience was disappointing and appreciate you sharing your feedback

I'm still waiting for the second Samsung Fold 3 Phones unlocking code. Because it's the 1st one that I lost. It's been returned to me and the store wouldn't accept it.

Hello Marion/Martin, we were able to unlock the first Samsung Galaxy phone within 24 hours of you ordering.

Unfortunately the second Samsung Galaxy phone you ordered was reported lost/stolen which is making it much more difficult to unlock. We do not recommend ordering a unlock for a blacklist device.

If you would like us to check to see if we can unlock your device before you order please email sales@theunlockingcompany.com or you can visit our website and click "Check before you buy"

only a fool tries to unlock there phone themselves

When I first started my unlock journey, I felt paying for something that is POSSIBLE to get for free didn't make sense. All I can say is try it yourself. After 3 months of frustration and lost time hire these guys instead. It is literally a full time job attempting to get phone companies to comply with FCC guidelines, the unlocking company handles all that frustration for you. There is a reason they have been in business as long as they have. Save yourself the frustration, and most importantly the priceless currency of time, and trust the unlocking company to manage your claim quickly, efficiently, and most important properly.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Aaron, and for the thoughtful perspective. You’re absolutely right, navigating carrier policies and FCC guidelines can be incredibly time consuming and frustrating. We’re glad we could step in and handle that process for you, saving you time and effort. We truly appreciate your trust and kind words, and we’re grateful for your support of The Unlocking Company!

Tmobile was refusing to unlock my phone without opening a new line for 60 days. These guys helped me out to unlock my phone in a couple of days. Now I pay less a year than what I was paying a month. Pay off your phone and get off the legacy carriers
