I paid for a 72hr unlock

I paid for a 72hr unlock. 72hrs later I was sent an email saying that it may take longer and that if I had read the fine print then I would have seen that it sometimes takes longer. So I waited . Two weeks passed, no unlock. I emailed them and they assured me they were working very hard . I waited another 7days . When I asked for a refund a week later they said No. I asked again they said we will give u half your money back . I said I wanted a full refund they said no . When I asked again and said I would report them I got a full refund and this email. Saying the following ” Best of luck to you, I have marked the card as fraud so cannot be used on our website again along with your email, stick with AT&T and fulfill their requirement. You just missed on your best shot to unlock the phone”. Now I’m no genius but this is not a professional way to speak to a customer you let down and denied their money back . Never again. Find someone else guys.

***Looking to unlock your phone? We are happy to check if we can unlock before any purchase is made! Please email sales@theunlockingcompany.com***

Hello Francisco, we’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few important points for anyone reading.

The order was placed on December 29th and asked for 20 additional business after the holiday weekend but 10 days later we were threatened so we refunded the purchase, sent reciept and insured no further orders could be processed. Our 1–72 hour timeframe is stated as an estimate, not a guarantee, and this is disclosed on the product page, FAQs, Terms & Conditions, and on the receipt provided at checkout. Unfortunately, AT&T has significantly tightened unlock access over the past several years, and some devices, despite active efforts, can exceed estimated timelines or become ineligible. If we cannot unlock unfortunately no one but AT&T can. I understand the frustration after trying only one company and unfortunately exploring other options will provide the same outcome and hopefully the same suggestions.

Regarding refunds: we do not deny refunds as a form of punishment or pressure but we also ask for time to help and allow us to exhaust all the options. In this specific case, a full refund was issued so you could try other options as you did not want us to continue working on unlocking the device. We are glad the financial portion was resolved. Any payment method restrictions that occur are standard fraud-prevention measures applied by our payment processors, typically triggered during disputes or chargeback discussions, and are not meant to be personal or retaliatory but to prevent future orders for chargeback risked clients that do not speak well to our employees.

That said, we acknowledge that the tone of the final communication referenced does not reflect the level of professionalism we strive for, and we regret that this added frustration rather than closing the matter on a better note.

We’ve been a family-owned business for over 15 years and have successfully unlocked millions of devices, but we also understand that when an unlock cannot be completed within expectations, it can be disappointing. We genuinely wish you the best moving forward and appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! We truly appreciate your trust and are glad we could assist you.

You’re absolutely right while many phones unlock quickly, some devices do take longer depending on the carrier, model, and IMEI-specific restrictions. We always do our best to communicate clearly and work through each case individually.

Thank you again for choosing us, and we’d be happy to help you anytime in the future!

They don't make the service and refuse to refund

I request for an unlocking service and i was informed that the service would take no more that one month and i wait more than 3 months but the company refused many times to process a refund after several attempts to request it.
Worse company ever!

Please email sales@theunlockingcompany.com if you want to check to see if we can unlock before ordering

Hello Martina, we provide full refunds once the options have been exhausted which in you case you were fully refunded. We do not retain funds for services that cannot be delivered, and if you have not received your refund please contact us directly, sales@theunlockingcompany.com.

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and understand how delays can be disappointing. To clarify for transparency, the timeframe you referenced was an estimate, not a guarantee, in some cases, certain IMEIs are delayed due to carrier or manufacturer restrictions that are outside of our control.

If you believe there is any outstanding issue with your order or would like us to review your refund, we encourage you to contact us directly at sales@theunlockingcompany.com so we can locate your order. Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon.

I sincerely recommend The Unlock Company to anyone looking to unlock their mobile phone. My experience with unlocking my Samsung S24 Ultra was truly positive—they fulfilled their promise exactly as stated. Previously, I had faced issues with other fraudulent companies that took my money without providing any service or responding to my queries.

Any Potential customer - Please email sales@theunlockingcompany.com with the make, model, locked carrier and IMEI so we can check before you order

You were fully refunded once we could not unlock the device and we truly regret that your experience did not meet expectations but . We take accusations like this seriously.

Our service is legitimate, and when an unlock cannot be completed for a specific IMEI due to carrier or manufacturer restrictions, we do not keep a customer’s money. We would be happy to refund in accordance with our Terms & Conditions but you have provided no information to locate an order.

We encourage you to contact us directly (sales@theunlockingcompany.com) so we can review your order details together and ensure everything was handled correctly. If there is any outstanding concern or confusion, we are more than happy to address it promptly.

Transparency and fair resolution matter to us, and we’re always willing to help make things right.

Even though I had to wait longer than the 72 hours, and I was thinking that I just got scammed again, because that's what happened when I tried to do this on a different site. But that was not the case, my phone was just a little bit more complicated than they usually are, and they really continued to put in the work to get the unlock code. And once they did, it worked like a charm! 100%

After a nightmare with AT&T, these guys save the day!

It’s a little nerve-racking to give your phone details to a stranger, however, I am so pleased with the results! After paying off my phone with AT&T, because my account was linked to another person I could never unlock my phone. I went to the AT&T store twice and I was on hold with them for over 10 hours. No one could help me, they all said they could but no one actually could unlock my phone and separate the two accounts. It was maddening and there are quite a few tears! I’m so glad this company exist and it was easy to unlock my phone!
