Unlocking Code Worked

The initial order worked well and I expected to receive the code within their stated 1 to 24 hours. However after 48 hours I had to send an e-mail asking for the code.

Within a couple of hours Fonesunlock sent the code to me and it worked with no problems. Thanks

Low cost unlock for LG

This is the best value company i could find for unlocking a cheap LG (others cost more than the phone). Got the code within 3 working days (although i did send a reminder). Now my 7-year old sim works in a new phone.

Code worked no problem

I ordered code on Saturday night, got it the following Thursday night. The code worked first time without problem. Phone was Nokia 5800 locked to Vodafone UK. The instructions in the link were easy to follow.
I would have liked to have got the code a bit quicker, but still happy to recommend at £9.

Worked first time

You panic at first, because you send off your money and don't hear anything, but later on the same day I got my code and it worked straight away - easy!

Just need to sort out that communication with the customer - otherwise fantastic.

2 phones unlocked no probs

I always get a bit paranoid when buying things over the internet and relying on someone to email me the goods.
Requested MEP unlock code for my torch 9800 first. After a few hours got worried and emailed the company that I had not received anything. By the following day I had two emails. One telling me service takes 12-24 hours and another with the codes for my phone. Actually got two codes I assumed first was MEP2 and second was MEP4. Only needed MEP2
Then couple of days later requested codes for wife's Curve 8520. Next day I got an email with one code and I inputted as MEP2.
Now two network free BB's we can change provider at home, or stick in a foriegn sim when we are abroad.
Excellent service first time so went back for the second phone. Would use again and would recommend them to you.

Better than 5 for customer service

The service from this site couldn't be better. The response time is fast and emails courteous and helpful. Customer service is brilliant: thank you so much for your patience and kindness when TMobile were giving me hell in so many ways. I live in provincial England where services are not good. Thanks to fonesunlock, even after all the time it took to return unserviceable payg handsets TWICE, complain and then buy a whole new handset AND change networks, I now have fully functional and unlocked work equipment. Thanks again for staying with it.

BEWARE - THESE GUYS ARE PROFESSIONAL CHEATERS - SCAM SITE

Watch out for these guys they will take your money and never reply to your emails. Professional cheaters, look how they've posted so many "positive" feedbacks while on the other site they rip people's pockets.

BEWARE - THIS IS A SCAM SITE

Scam site, don't trust them, they'll steal your money and ignore your emails

I ordered a code from them many days ago, although in their site they lie to send codes within seconds. Not only this, but they did not even return my emails or gave me any explanation. They'll steal your money and ignore you. DON'T BUY FROM THEM - SCAM

Excellent Service!

This is the second time I used this service and I am most impressed. After receiving the correct unlock code for my Samsung I found that it had a sublock engaged too. Withina few hours of notifying fonesunlock about this I received instructions how to remove the sublock as well.
In a previous case I requested an unlock code for a phone which was already unlocked. Fonesunlock returned my money immediately!
Highly recommendable service indeed.

Thanks, Tim!

Absolutely first class

I placed my order in the morning and by early evening the same day my phone was unlocked. Having already tried another company which sent me codes which did not work, I am glad I contacted Fonesunlock and I would recommend them to any one who wants to unlock their mobile phone. Excellent customer service, well done.

Blackberry Curve 8900

I'd just about given up hope of unlocking the phone with only three attempts left when these guys sorted it all out for me! One little problem was the bb info unlocker wouldn't work on my PC running Vista 64 bit software.
