We’re sorry you feel this way, but this claim is not accurate.

We are willing to check unlock eligibility before any purchase is made: customers can email sales@theunlockingcompany.com with the device make, model, locked carrier, and IMEI so we can review it in advance. Offering a pre-check before payment is about as far from “fake” as a business can get.

We are a legitimate, family-owned company with over 15 years of experience and thousands of successful unlocks. When an unlock cannot be completed after all available options are exhausted, full refunds are issued, and we also explore alternative solutions when possible.

If you placed an order with us and have a concern, we’re happy to review it directly and resolve it properly. Please contact sales@theunlockingcompany.com so we can assist, including issuing a refund if applicable.

We’re always open to transparent, direct resolution.

TUC is a scam!

I got the same generated email a lot of you did. They cannot unlock the phone and they threaten you in the email that if you leave a negative review or if you chargeback they will blacklist your phone. This is a terrible company and its not even a legit company. They couldn't unlock an older Samsung S24 nor an S25 I've had for along time the S24 and the S25 maybe close to a year now. Do not trust them!

"We always aim to resolve matters directly, fairly, and professionally. Initiating a chargeback while an order is still actively being worked can sometimes trigger carrier or processor reviews that may negatively affect a device’s status. These outcomes are enforced by card networks, carriers, or manufacturers, not by us directly, and we share this information only so you’re fully informed."

Scam artists. AVOID! If they don't provide the refund I will be calling the bank!

****If you are looking to unlock a device and want to check to see if possible before payment please contact us directly with your make, model, locked carrier and IMEI to sales@theunlockingcompany.com****

Happy Sunday Kat! We’re sorry to hear about your experience and want to clarify a few important points.

When an unlock cannot be completed after all available options are exhausted, 100% refunds are issued according to our published policy, which is provided at checkout, on the receipt, and on our website. We do not keep payment for unsuccessful services.

Receiving similar update emails does not mean a service is “generated” or a scam. Certain devices, including Samsung S24/S25 models, can encounter the same carrier-side restrictions, which naturally results in similar status updates. That reflects transparency, not deception.

We do not threaten customers and we do not blacklist any phones for sharing your experience or for legitimate chargeback reasons . Blacklisting is controlled solely by carriers networks, or manufacturers, not by unlocking services. The message you quoted is a standard disclosure meant to explain that chargebacks can sometimes trigger automated reviews by banks or carriers. It is informational, not a threat.

We are a legitimate, family-owned business with over 15 years of experience, and we take concerns seriously. We would like the opportunity to review your specific order and resolve this directly.

Please contact us at sales@theunlockingcompany.com with your order details so a senior team member can assist you promptly.

Unlock Apple 14 Pro

Hi,

I was having a difficult time getting my phone unlocked by a big carrier. I was on the phone with this carrier for over four hours trying to get my phone unlocked by them. It took over a week. Even though my phone was fully paid off years ago, the carrier still had a hold on my phone. I reached out to The Unlocking Company, and my phone was unlocked within a day for my situation. I was able to successfully move away from this carrier today and am thankful for their service. They provided excellent customer service.

Buena atención

Buena atención, tenía muchos nervios por tratarse de una página web, hice el pago por la noche y al mediodía me ayudaron. Tuvieron paciencia porque tenía que traducir las instrucciones y hubo pasos que se me dificultaron a hacer. Los técnicos de dónde vivo no me pudieron ayudar y tuve que arriesgar pero todo salió bien, lograron desbloquear mi S24 Ultra y quedé muy satisfecho. Espero que el bloqueo sea permanente. Gracias.

Excellent service. I was very nervous because it was a website; I made the payment at night and they helped me at midday. They were patient because I had to translate the instructions, and some steps were difficult for me. The technicians where I live couldn't help me, so I had to take a chance, but everything turned out well. They managed to unlock my S24 Ultra, and I'm very satisfied. I hope the lock is permanent. Thank you very much.

100% worked for me

Honestly I was sceptical at first, with so many sites out there offering unlocking it was difficult to know who to trust. I'm in the UK and bought a US carrier locked iPhone (not known at the time). I didnt know the history of the device, or the network it originally came from. Rather than just buying in hope, I emailed the team at TUC first to see if my situation fit their criteria. Within a couple of hours they confirmed to me that they could help, and although it was significantly more than the 'standard,' cost (about 4x more in fact) it felt like my only option. From initial email enquiry to having the device unlocked was about 21 hours, and less than 9hrs from payment to competition. The process was a complete success and required nothing on my end but payment and patience. Registered a UK carrier eSim with no issues. Thank you for a swift resolution.

Friendly service superstars!

I recently made the mistake of purchasing a new for me cell phone off of eBay. After I received the phone, which was in good condition overall, I realize that the phone was still locked to its prior network. After attempting several unlocks through the network provider, I was told that it has a previous balance. Since I bought this off of eBay, I was unable to find out what the previous balance was to ultimately unlock the device. I found this company online and from the start their service was exceptional. They tried through all of their avenues and over several months of nonstop attempts, my phone was not able to be unlocked, unfortunately. However, I feel in other circumstances there would be no issue unlocking devices. I will gladly use this company again in the future!

We’re really glad to hear you felt supported throughout the process, even though the final outcome wasn’t what either of us hoped for. Unfortunately, prior balance restrictions from the original carrier can sometimes make an unlock impossible for any third party. We truly appreciate your patience while we explored every available option, and it means a lot that you’d choose to work with us again in the future. We’ll be here whenever you need us.
