They sent me invalid unlock code for HTC Desire C and don't want to return money. Don't use their service.

Scam - don't stress yourself out

By Taylor , California

I have been waiting over 19 days for my order when I was told to take 10. Now they told me it may take up to another 10 days and if I want a rush on it I will pay $60. If they're already doing everything they can do to get it done ASAP how was a possible to put a rush on?

Don't buy form CellUnlocker.net!

By Samer , Spain

This is the worst experience I've had with online shopping. Between November 1st through the 9th, I purchased nine unlock codes for iPhones. After waiting for a month and not receiving anything, I opened a case with Paypal and they told me that they had made only 3 unlocks and canceled the rest by emailing me. They would not refund the remaining money of around 600 USD. As far as the rest of the money goes, CellUnlocker told me they will not refund me the rest of the money since I already opened a PayPal Case, (intangible item) meaning Paypal could also not do anything because it was an intangible item.

Waste of time & money

By Lass , Florida

Be careful with Cellunlocker.net, they didn't comply with the refund policies. I bought two codes from them: OrderID: xx4024 and OrderID: xx2763 and at the end, the codes didn't work. They start to send me some instructions to make the codes work but with no success. Sometimes it seems like the person who answered my emails didn't know anything about my orders. They got me tired sending me the same instructions time after time and asking me for some videos with a "REFUND INSTRUCTIONS" as email header.

Once I realized we were going nowhere, I asked them for my money, back based on their refund policy that was stated on their website. I received nothing. I didn't receive an email with the reason for not refunding me. I'm very disappointed with cellunlocker.net, my experience started very well, but at the end it was completely awful.

Poor Customer Service

By Jessica ,

I searched the web for information about Cellunlocker.net and somehow the negative reviews didn't show up, so I decided to give them a chance. I paid and was told I would get my unlock code within 3-7 business days. No word back during this whole time. On the 7th business day I e-mailed about it and was told that it was actually up to 8 days. I made a screenshot of the website that proved it and said otherwise, and didn't hear back. Waited until the 9th day. Still no code. E-mailed again saying I'm frustrated and want my money back so that I can go elsewhere since no one will tell me when I'm getting my unlock code. I was asked to resubmit my IMEI, carrier, and phone model. Finally got told I'd get it late next week, meaning I could get my code up to 2 times longer than what I was told in the beginning it would take. I said I wanted a refund because I hadn't gotten an unlock code on time and I'm tired of waiting and would rather go elsewhere. I have not heard back since. I then decided to search for Cellunlocker.net again and suddenly I can see all the negative reviews all over the web. Very frustrated and disappointed. Never using their services again.

Absolute Scam

By Matthew , Scam

Hey people, it's better for you give your money to a beggar on the street so you know you did good than letting this people behind the company to get it. They don't even have a mission statement. It's a scam and I hope they get busted soon by the responsible authorities. They claim a live chat but you never find it, service not rendered, money gone. How can they allow a site like that to still exist despite knowing what these folks do?

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Poor business ethics

By Barry L. Mead , Guam

After all was said and done, these people knew the phone we were trying to unlock was a problem from the beginning, and that it would need new firmware to work, yet they sold us the codes, and now want video and blame us for the problem. Though I believe they might do what they say, when they got your money they keep it regardless!

The worst service possible!

By Peter , Toronto, Ontario

This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I've been waiting three days for the code now. I understand that sometimes things take time. I just really hate being lied to as a customer. The message when calling their customer support line says right off the bat that Samsung orders might not be filled. Then it says Samsung Canada orders will take 24-36 hours. If you want to cancel then send an email to support. When I stay on the line, I'll be on hold for 10-15 minutes at the least then quite often my call is disconnected! I've had to call 6 or 7 times and stay on hold more than 10 minutes each time to finally reach a live person.

I've emailed support several times with no comprehensible response that has anything to do with getting my code. As per their voice mail message that specifically addresses Samsung phone delays which directs you to email support to cancel your order, I did so. Then I emailed them again and then a third time after which I finally got a response. Basically, I'll have to wait since Samsung orders are delayed and if I had read the tiny message buried somewhere on their website, I would have known that. At that point I was fed up of getting lied to and receiving different stories on every email and phone call that I finally emailed support requesting a refund. The response back after another day was to deny the refund and was told things take time and to refer to the disclaimer on their website that Samsung orders were delayed. I finally got someone on the phone after numerous tries on the fourth day. They kept putting me on hold and eventually they said they had a code for me and wanted me to write it down.

Based on my experience, I would definitely not use this company again. Furthermore if you want reliable, courteous service I would recommend staying away from this company no matter how little they charge.

Once you pay them, your money is stuck with them with no recourse

By Sreekanth ,

I paid these guys for cell unlock and found a much cheaper unlocking service at a different website. Emailed these guys to honor their lowest price promise but they said they wouldn't match price once the order is placed and wouldn't cancel my order also. Now I have filed PayPal dispute and waiting to see how that goes.

Terrible service - still waiting for getting refunded

By Corrado Divisi, Verified Reviewer

This service provider was supposed to unlock my phone, but after one month in which I have kept trying to unlock it following different instructions they provided me, my mobile phone is still locked. I shot a video of the process I went through and instead of excusing for their terrible service, they are complaining about the quality of the video and of course they don't want to refund me. Keep you away from this service provider.

It's a scam, they get your money and go silent

By Jeff , Lake Worth, FL

The company seems legit, but if you read all the fine print you realize they have too many contingencies to cover for the fact that they take your money and run. They never respond to emails, it's impossible to get them on the phone other than their automated message and their status update tool online simply says order pending.

Keep your $20 and try somewhere else.

Crap

By Danielle , San Diego

I ordered a code Friday at 11am and it is now Wednesday 5pm. I'm going on day 3 and still nothing. I've been emailing about my code and here are the only responses I get: it's still processing, second time was we don't work weekends, third time was our supplier said you should get it no later than tomorrow. Now it's tomorrow and I ask what their business hours are and they reply that it is 24/7. How is it that this unlocking thing works 24/7 and will automatically generate your code when it's ready but you only work weekdays? I'm tired of waiting. I suggest not using this company. I am going to find every review place I can to make sure these people don't scam someone else. I will be going to my bank and starting an investigation. They are only getting 1 star because I have to give them something. I would have given no stars or negative stars.

Fraud

By M. B., London UK, Verified Reviewer

Stay away from them. This is a fraudulent service, they took my money right away and after more than a month did not get back to me, despite my repetitive reminders. Each time they would just say it will be ready soon, but i's never going to happen. Do not use this service, they take your money and don't do anything, nor do they give your money back.

STAY AWAY

By a, Verified Reviewer

I had a horrible experience with this company! They took 2 weeks to give me an unlock code. Its a total scam. I needed my phone unlocked to be able to travel to Asia. They took so long that I was already back from my trip when I got the unlock code. Now it is completely useless to me.

I emailed several times to ask for a refund since I have not even used the code yet. There has been no response. I emailed sales and support everyday for 2 weeks and even filled out the question form on their site. I have received no contact. How can anyone trust a company that doesn't even respond to their customers.

It cost almost $40 and would have been cheaper to go through my provider, but I was hoping these guys would be faster to get the unlock code to me. I guess not.

My advice – do not use this company.

Terrible

By Twanda, Seatle, WA, Verified Reviewer

I purchased an unlock code from this company for my blackberry Z10 and it did not work. I took a video of me entering the code and it not working, as I was instructed to do so. I sent hem the video and they didn't respond to it. They kept saying the code was verified correct. This was 4 days after my initial request. I went to the provider that the phone was locked by and they verified a different unlock code with RIM prior to giving it to me. The code the provider gave me worked. I complained again, to cellunlocker.net and they said I need a video not only of the code not working but of me showing them the IMEI number. They denied me a refund.

This company doesn't care if the service they provide works. They just want your money and will not refund faulty codes.

DO NOT USE THEM, unless you just want to give them money for nothing.

Bad customer service

By Blanchard Tondo, Verified Reviewer

I was in the beginning happy wit the Cellunloker services, but I am a deeply deceived customer as I am writing now. I helped a friend of mine to unlock his iPhone from Telus Network in Canada and it took a month after emails and threats. I am waiting for a code that they said it will take 1 to 2 days and now it's been 3 weeks.

I don't know if it's just me alone, but The Cellunlocker business is going down.

Been years with them. Never had issues. Recently purchased a few unlocks from them. Turnaround time is weeks. Every time I was told 1-2 days. I am giving up. Stop giving them any more chances. Taking my business somewhere else. Getting really frustrating. I don't even want to give 1 star, but where is the 0 star option?

Scam!

By Sue , Florida

After countless emails, over a month and a half, they still had not unlocked my phone. No reason given. Not worth the one star you have to give to write the review. Don't waste your money, but especially, your time on this so-called, company! My experience with them was awful. I am blogging about this experience.

Waste of Money

By Robert Eklund, Venice, FL, Verified Reviewer

Order Number 1511806, placed 12/13/2015.

It seems like the whole world, except me, knows that only T-Mobile can unlock their new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge phones. Cellunlocker.net took my order anyway, and after waiting a week, I'm out $49.99. I politely wrote to them and requested a refund less than 24-hours of placing my order, and before receiving an unlock code. It cost me 50 bucks to learn a lesson the hard way, but I'll post this experience all over the cyber community. If you've had good luck with these folks, I wish you the best. I found them to be a waste of time and money. Today is Friday, I placed my order on Monday, and I've received squat for my $49.99! Happy Holidays to all.

Wished I had read these reviews before I contacted them.

By Daniel Towey, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

My issue is exactly like many of the others. They were very quick to get the $24.99 out of my account but I still have not received an unlock code. It's been five days. In order to request a status of my order, I needed an order number which I did not receive from them. I wrote two emails requesting the number and did not receive a response. So I called them and was sent in a circle by their answering machine. I have filed a complaint against them through PayPal. They have still not responded to any of my requests. So, I ordered through a different company and had my information in less than four hours and it was eight dollars cheaper. This company is a scam and I will not pay them. Of course, this does tie up my $24.99 for about three months while it is in litigation.

Company is fraudulent and I can only assume that the few reviews here that are positive were written by the company themselves. There are many other companies you can choose from. This one is nothing but a scam and too cowardly to even respond to customer questions. I should know by now to always check reviews before I order anything, even if it is only $24.99. Thieves.
