Be aware of these scammers

Be aware of these scammers. On their website, they promise to unlock the phone within 24 hours. They fell to do so and when you ask for a refund, they tell you to wait 30 days. After 30 days they simply refuse to issue refund. Do not deal with this thefts

****No payment required to do eligibility checks. Please email sales@theunlockingcompany.com before purchase so we can provide you with the options available to you. All we need is the make, model, locked carrier and IMEI.****

Hello Rafael, Thank you for your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience, but we do need to clarify a few important points for accuracy.

At no point do we “guarantee” a 24-hour unlock. Our website clearly states that 1–72 hours is an average estimated timeframe, not a guaranteed delivery window, and this is disclosed across our product pages, FAQs, Terms & Conditions prior to purchase as well as on your receipt

In your specific case, the issue with your device is that it was BLACKLISTED (reported lost or stolen). As outlined on our website and policies, we cannot unlock blacklisted devices, nor can we refund as this would involve participating in activity tied to stolen property, which we strictly do not engage in.

Regarding refunds, we follow the process agreed to at checkout. Once all options have been reviewed and exhausted, refunds are issued in accordance with those terms. We do not withhold refunds arbitrarily and were trying to work with you on a solution that does not have us cooperating in stolen property.

We understand being in possession of stolen property can be frustrating , but we operate within industry and legal constraints that apply to all legitimate unlocking providers. I would recommend returning the phone or turning the phone in so you are not in possession of it either

If you would like to revisit your case directly, we’re happy to assist further.

I reached out to Theunlockingcompany seeking to Network unlock my Samsung S24 ultra locked to T-Mobile and surely, they didn't disappoint:
Exellent customer service✅
Reasonable pricing✅
Short turnaround time✅
And btw, two months after the unlock , i decided to update my software even though they had initially advised not to do so to avoid re-locking. The device locked again and i reached out to them . They were kind enough to re-unlock it again without charging me again.

Doesn't work. The more expensive option they have that can work leaves you unable to update software on your device.

***Need an unlock, email sales@theunlockingcompany.com and we are happy to check before you purchase***

Thank you Derk for your feedback. we understand your concern and want to clarify.

The outcome depends on the type of unlock your device is eligible for. In some cases where a permanent carrier unlock is not available or need unlock faster, other methods may be offered as an alternative. These methods can come with certain limitations, including potential impact on software updates.

That said, these options are always explained beforehand, and they are completely optional, customers can choose to proceed or wait for other methods if available.

If a permanent unlock is not possible due to carrier restrictions, this is an industry-wide limitation, not specific to our service.

We’re happy to review your case further and see if any additional options are available, please reach out to our support team with your order details so we can assist.

Thank you for your feedback Juan, we hope you are having a wonderful Easter.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience, and that you think the responses are scripted as well as the reviews being fake. We simply want to clarify few important points not only to you but also for potential customers. First, we do not fabricate reviews

The additional service referenced was an optional premium method, not a requirement. These options become available in some cases when the standard method is delayed or restricted, and they are always presented as a choice, not an obligation. We want to reassure you that full refunds are issued once all available options at your service level have been exhausted. Your original order remains active, and we continue working on it at no additional cost.

If you would like us to continue working on your order or review available options with you again, please reach out to our support team directly. We’re here to help.

Good morning, we hope you are having a wonderful Easter weekend

Unfortunately we do not have any order under the name Helena Duarte Otamendi in our system or any variety of the name. It’s possible the order was placed under a different name or email address possibly a different company.

Please email us at sales@theunlockingcompany.com with your order details (such as the email used or IMEI), and we’ll be more than happy to look into this for you right away.

Please note that response times may be slightly delayed this weekend due to the Easter holiday, but we will follow up as soon as possible.

Amazing, unexpectedly quick and stayed in contact through the whole process

I really did not think this was going to work. I specifically used them because they said they are a family company and made me trust them more.
Oh boy, They really delivered. I know they said that times can change depending on the company they need to get the unlock code from, but I did not expect them to get it to me sooner.
No hidden fees, no hidden catches.
Everything was above board.
I recommend, recommend, recommend.

Price, quality, service, pick two out of three

You know what they say: "price, quality, service, pick two out of three."

I bought a specialized 10-year-old phone, fabulous quality, excellent price. THEN I learned that its IMEI indicated that it had been manufactured locked under a contract. Not just anybody can unlock a phone like that. I picked Theunlockingcompany because they had a video about working with my model.

The service, though! The unlock time depends on the carrier, not Theunlockingcompany, to verify the IMEI and release it for unlocking. To be honest, unlocking my phone took three nerve-wracking weeks.

While I waited I learned that a) some special phones like mine can take up to 45 days and b) there are scammers who take your money and produce nothing. Theunlockingcompany kept me updated throughout. Still I had my doubts right up till I turned on my phone and saw missed calls and texts.

(Pro tip, once the IMEI is unlocked, your device swings right back into service even before Theunlockingcompany alerts you. No harm in turning it on and off a couple of times a day, just in case.)

Would I recommend getting a locked phone? No. Would I recommend working with Theunlockingcompany if you did? Yes

Thank you for such a detailed and honest review, we truly appreciate you sharing your experience.

You’re right, unlock times can vary significantly depending on the carrier and device history, especially with older or more specialized phones like yours. Those cases can take longer, and we understand how nerve-wracking the wait can be.

We’re glad to hear our team kept you updated throughout the process and, most importantly, that your phone was successfully unlocked in the end. That moment when everything starts working again is always worth it.

We also appreciate your recommendation, and your insight is spot on. While locked devices can come with challenges, we’re always here to help when customers find themselves in that situation.

Thanks again for trusting The Unlocking Company and for taking the time to share your experience!

Poor Service, Don't Try It! Really don’t 🤣

Poor service. I waited 5 months and each time I had to email them for an update. I kept getting the same generic reply to my emails. Finally I sold the phone for one that was already unlocked. I requested a refund and that's when it got weird. I've exchanged several emails in order to get a refund. Still don't know when or if to expect that. I eventually contacted my credit card company for advice. I then looked the company up on the BBB (better business bureau) website. When I saw the grade of D- I knew why. Highly advise you NOT waste your time or money.

Let me make it absolutely clear, everything in this review is absolutely true! Now they are trying to use Trust pilot as a means to discredit me, and suddenly more information is needed to be collected on me to show the company that my review is ”genuine”

What a joke man. Do really think I have nothing better to do with my life? Makes no difference, this isn’t the only place a review has been left. And I still don’t have my refund. Hopefully it festers in your account, keep it! Trust pilot you are here for who again?

Good morning it is hard to locate a order under "Ms Ice", and we would love the order number so we can look into this matter to get it resolved for you. Because we have a B rating in BBB (Better Business Bureau) you may have us confused with another company

We provide full refunds to all customers once all options have been exhausted and provide receipts once the refund is processed, which if we stated we refunded you would have received that receipt along with an email that states it can take 4-15 business days to reflect on your account, which is unfortunately standard credit card refund time frames out of our control

Our company is also always willing to provide unlock eligibility for free before you order if you contact us the make, model, locked carrier and imei to sales@theunlockingcompany.com
