WARNING - DO NOT USE FONESUNLOCK

I went online and found their website - it looked the same as the others out there so wasn't too worried and they allowed payments via PayPal so I wrongly assumed some level of legitimacy. However after paying my £6 and waiting 48 hours (their maximum turn-round time - according to the website) I had only received an email invoice - no unlock code. So I emailed them, used their "contact us" facility on the website and tried in vain to fine a contact number but with no success. In light of their complete lack of response I have requested a refund via PayPal and am awaiting a response. By the way - I can recommend GSMliberty for a unlock codes - received one from them in 5 mins and it was only £5 - my order ref with fonesunlock is 13548 - they are utterly useless don't go near them

Appears to be a scam

The only email I have had from them was to confirm the paypal payment. Since then it doesn't matter what I do - no response. I have started a paypal dispute - this starts with the two parties supposedly trying to sort out the problem, but they never email so it must be a scam.

Do they exist?

Requested unlock code a week ago - still nothing. No response to emails.
Not convinced this is a real company just a rip off.

Order id: #13103

Not heard anything back from this company since the order was placed 6 days ago. Used the email contact and the feedback form and nothing. I may not have spent a lot of cash but that is not the point. I have raised a complaint via pay pal and will report the company to their local trading standards.

Dear sicobiso,

You've ordered twice (order ID: 12619 & 12647), which of the orders is the one you're having problems with and require a refund? I believe the other code was okay?

Please check your email.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Did not recieve code.

Order Number: 12536
I did not receive my codes within the 48 hours stated and the company did not respond to emails until a week later. When they did eventually contact me they refunded my money immediately.

Very pleased with service

Although initial code did not work, staff were quick to reply to my emails until a working code was provided. Would definitely recommend service.

Code worked! and very good support

I received a first code that didn't work and I followed the instructions for this cases, mainly to send a second identifier of the device: I received the good code only 3 or 4 hours after. It worked immediately!
Thanks.
