My phone "died" suddenly

My phone "died" suddenly, without warning. I had a spare from Xfinity 2022 that was locked and never used. I visited their store three times this year, and it was never unlocked. Now that I HAD to have a phone, I looked for a company based in the USA and was impressed by the reviews for Theunlockingcompany. They did not disappoint! Within a few hours I was sent an unlocking code that worked! Wonderful, competent company, and I'm so very glad and appreciative for their help!!!

****For potential customers****
If you contact sales@theunlockingcompany.com we are happy to check any request before order is placed by providing us the make, model, locked carrier and IMEI

Good morning Nathan, we’re sorry to hear you feel this way and that your experience did not meet expectations.

We want to clarify that we do not scam customers and we do provide full refunds, which we did in your case with receipt sent to your email once you did not want to proceed and allow us to exhaust all options The 72-hour timeframe is an average estimate, not a guarantee, and at the time this review was posted it had been approximately 84 hours since the purchase was made.

Please contact us directly at sales@theunlockingcompany.com so we can help resolve this properly.

They're pros

The patience with all my questions, the knowledge, proffesionalism and just the way they dealt with me was great. The remote unlocking process was simple and didn't take as long as I expected. Recommend 10/10

It worked, legit company

Contacted them via WhatsApp to check if they could unlock my Motorola Edge Plus 2023. I shared the IMEI number and they quickly confirmed it was possible, then sent clear payment instructions. After making the payment, I received the unlock details and was able to unlock my phone successfully. I was skeptical at first, but they turned out to be a legit company and the process was smooth.

Got 2* devices sorted

Got 2* devices sorted, 1 that I requested an unlock code but was actually unlocked ( my mistake as presumed that it was locked) and got refund almost immediately after they came back asking to check what error I am getting in the device ( that's when I realised that it was unlocked.)

And for 2nd device can't be more great fully as had another 4-5 attempt with different companies even 4 times the price that couldn't unlock it, but TUC unlocked it in about 3 days and very nicely followed back after they sent activation email ensuring everything is OK so 11/10 for this. Thanks a lot.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We’re glad we could quickly identify that the first device was already unlocked and process the refund right away. Even more so, we’re happy to hear we were able to successfully unlock the second device after multiple other attempts elsewhere, and that the follow-up and communication stood out for you.

Thank you again for your trust and kind words, and we’re always here if you need help with any future unlocks.

Hello Jake this is very similar to the previous 1 star review 3 hours ago

Your order was 100% refunded as you did not want to proceed with premium option and did not want to to wait any longer. Should appear on your account in 4-10 banking days

Good morning Donnie, we’d like to clarify the timeline on this review. Our records show an order placed on December 9th, which is 12 days ago, not almost a month. If you have another order with us under a different email, please let us know so we can review it.

Your order placed on december 9th was refunded today after providing alternate options for your Fold 6 device unlock app with error code 14. Because of your time constraints we offered a same day unlock for a total of 67.99 but you chose not to proceed or wait and was immediately refunded

We’re always here to help if you have any other questions. Happy holidays and new year

Unlocking my S25 Ultra on Xfinity

Unlocking my S25 Ultra on Xfinity. I'm still currently paying on my S25 on my Xfinity account but I regularly travel to my home country in the Philippines. In many parts of the Philippines different carriers have good or bad signal strengths so many people use dual carriers depending where they live. So the need to switch out Sim 1 of 2 on my S25 is needed. The problem is Xfinity and other carriers lock the SIMS. It makes no sense why many new phones have 2 SIM slots yet they can't even give you one open SIM for emergency use of a prepaid carrier. The fact is when you’re locked into a payment contract with a carrier, the phone is yours so why lock the network on the phones?

The Unlocking Company helped me get my cell unlocked. It takes a bit of tech know how because you need to navigate through some settings to get your phone in developer mode which is available. After payment you will need to get on their chat session and they will walk you through the process.

It wasn't bad but mostly I'm happy my phone is now accessible to use with any network if I have an emergency. Good company and thanks.

We’re really glad we could help get your Galaxy S25 Ultra unlocked so you can stay connected while traveling between the U.S. and the Philippines. Dual-SIM phones are incredibly useful in areas where carrier signal strength varies, and we completely understand how limiting it can feel when a device is locked to one network.

We’re happy you now have the freedom to use your phone on any compatible network when you need it. That’s exactly the kind of flexibility we want our customers to have.

Thank you again for trusting us, and we’re always here if you need help with another device in the future.
