I requested to unlock my iPhone 6 from Rogers network. After 4 days Cellunlocker unlocked my phone. It's a great experience, thanks!

Lighting quick. Will use again!

By Mike S., Linden, MI, Verified Reviewer

So, Xfinity mobile wanted me to wait 3 days for them to send me my unlock code. I had paid the phone off months prior to this, mind you.

So after a quick search, I found Cellunlocker and gave them a try. Not even a full hour went by and I had my unlock code. You all saved me and I'm grateful for it. Affordable, very fast, and truly painless.

Easy unlock of AT&T Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

By David R., West Hills, CA, Verified Reviewer

Received unlock codes within an hour, directions were straightforward. Unlock procedure required entry of only one number. Make sure the submitted IMEI# is correct and pay close attention to instructions. After unlocking it takes time for the phone to be registered with the new network.

At least I got my code in the end

By Trevan C., Dominica, Verified Reviewer

What should've been 48 hours took 4 weeks. Customer service either didn't respond or didn't help much. After week two I was adamant about a response and was told it would only take 3 more days. I waited an additional 2 weeks.

I've used this website in the past and had gotten good turnover speeds, but I can't speak of their reputation after this experience. I'll just have to see how the next unlock goes.

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

They always deliver, usually on time

I have never received a false code from them (which would be problematic since you only have a few tries)

The prices are good, instructions are also clear

Took WAY too long to receive my code

Customer service didn't help much and the little information they gave was still untrue

No compensation after such slow service, no updates after promised delivery time had long passed

By Ismael L. , Saint-Domingue

Unlocked AT&T iPhone 13 Pro Max

By Ivan P., San Diego, CA, Verified Reviewer

Was a bit skeptical that it would work but they got it done within the time frame they promised. Now I’m using this phone with my T-Mobile line and have no problems at all. As soon as they let me know it was locked I switched out the SIMs and it was working right away.

Pros and Cons

It was guaranteed or money back

Turn around time was within a week

Business days only, does not include weekends or holidays so that delayed the process a little

These folks are persistent!

By Ed M., Long Valley, NJ, Verified Reviewer

These folks are persistent, effective, and professional. They provided an unlock code for a phone that AT&T claimed Samsung did not have a code for. The first method they tried yielded no result, but after checking back with us they tried a second database and were successful. It wasn't super quick but was within the quoted time. They stayed in contact on progress. I am going to use Cellunlocker for a second phone. I highly recommend them!

Cellunlocker.net is Legit

By Janice Lee , Vancouver

Works Great

By Jim , Barrie, Ontario Canada

The only problem I had was, to use the unlock code you need a sim card from a provider other than the company you are using. Once I obtained one of those I unlocked my phone with the code in two minutes. I notice people dishing the company as it wouldn't unlock their particular brand. That is totally their own fault, they are told before they try which phones it won't work on. I do not shop online frequently but am very happy with the product I received.

Amazing and would definitely use again

I have now unlocked two phones (an iPhone 6 Plus, and an iPhone 6) that were locked to Bell, Canada. The turn around time was approximately 24 hours. I received an email letting me know when the phone was unlocked, inserted Rogers SIM card, and that's it. It worked perfectly.

It worked with my Samsung Galaxy S7!

By Suzan, Zwolle, Netherlands, Verified Reviewer

I was being a skeptic because after requesting the product, it said that it would take one to three workdays, and after three days, my order status was still processing. One day later, I got an email that they have a worldwide delay, and it would take another three to five days. I thought I was being faked, but another day later I received an email that it was finished! And it's true (in my case).

I have a Samsung S7 T-Mobile from the USA, and I couldn't unlock it, even after calling the service from T-Mobile a lot of times. So after receiving this email, I was still a skeptic, but I opened the unlock app and when I tapped "permanent unlock," it was unlocked! Normally it said, "this phone is not eligible for unlock." So I'm very happy because now I can use it in the Netherlands!

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

What you have to know and understand before rating these people...

By Jeff Vaughn, Verified Reviewer

First of all, I would say that 90% of the "bad" ratings, on here, are from first-timers who don't understand how it all works and they were either impatient or ignorant of how to proceed before/during/after the unlock or during the waiting period.

My receipt said it could take 2-5 "business" days, so I will wait 2 to 5 "business" days before getting concerned.

Not every phone takes the same amount of time to unlock. One might take 2 hours, one might take SEVERAL days, it's just the way it is UNLESS you want to go somewhere else and pay more for faster service.

If you look at all the sites, you will see that more money makes processing faster, it's just how it is.

Sending texts and unlocking phones have NOTHING to do with one another. "After" you unlock the phone, you HAVE to set a "new" APN so you can send SMS/MMS correctly. I've seen people blame cellunlocker.net for their own lack of understanding of, well, everything to do with the phone and the situation and it's not fair to the company.

I've bought, over the years, maybe 5 or 6 unlocks from them and never had any real issues with them. I go through phones, pretty rapidly, so I've got a history with these people and I know not every situation is going to be the same.

READ THE RECEIPT. It's going to be your guide to sanity with this process. Read it ALL, especially the part where it says "days to complete" and you won't get so wound up.

Now, in all fairness, I will take note of the other side of the situation. The phone service, associated with this company, it kind of "sucks" because you're put on hold forever sometimes.

You don't always get emails back fast when you email support and sometimes this company's website (like today) goes down for a period of time.

Like I said, I've done this SEVERAL times with this company, and always seem to have a decent experience for ONE reason, I understand the rules.

If you're impatient or paranoid which, let's be honest, there are a LOT of you out there who are both, you're not going to have a good experience with this company.

Quick and simple. Happy camper

By Kat J.P, Orlando, FL, Verified Reviewer

I unlocked two phones with this company; an iPhone SE and LG Leon. It was quick and easy service, and I received my code in a couple of days, (1-2 max), inserted the SIM cards, and (voila!) unlocked phones! Awesome. No need to email or call; patience is the key!

Always takes longer, frustrating support, not worth the anxiety

By David Wright, New York, Verified Reviewer

I've ordered now about six codes from these guys over a span of about two years. Although most of them were riddled with frustration, my current order is going to be my final order.

As stated by many people on this review page, these guys like to jerk you around about how long it takes for the code. They'll first claim you have the wrong estimated completion date, although the date is present before you check out, after you check out, and again in the email receipt. They'll say it'll be a day longer on the final day when you still haven't received anything. Then when you have nothing the next day, they'll say either one more day or you'll definitely have it by midnight. Then they'll keep asking for one more day or just say we're doing the best we can and you'll receive the code in your email when it's finished.

I would not mind if they were honest and said it's taking longer than we expected and actually apologized. They're just belittling and act like you're wrong and you shouldn't be asking about your order. Their time estimates should be the maximum time for them to either come up with a code or issue a refund. They should also ask the customer if they'd like to continue with trying an "alternative database" as they usually do, instead of automatically extending the search without any communication with the buyer (which may or may not result in a code anyway).

I'm plenty patient and understanding if I'm being asked to wait a bit longer and am treated kindly and feel like I'm being kept informed if things aren't going quickly and smoothly. This is not the case with these people.

I would recommend buyers seek out other merchants if they desire an unlock service that operates in the time outlined during purchase and provides a decent amount of communication to set the buyer at ease if issues arise.

Legit service

By Steve P , Ottawa, ON

I recently unlocked my Bell LG G3 (still at the beginning of contract) using Cellunlocker.net since I wanted to use SIM cards while over in Europe.

I received a couple unlock codes (apparently depends on the phone) and the first one I tried worked (my LG G3 had 10 attempts to unlock). The codes arrived in less than an hour.

Very happy with this service; I had no requirement to go to customer service, so I cannot comment on that.

I'm guessing this site has a proprietary algorithm to determine the unlock codes based off cell manufacturer and IMEI? That might explain how they sometimes get it wrong. Some sources say they go to a database to get the code, but due to the fast turn around I doubt that is how they do it.

Anyways, overall a good experience and low cost ($10 CAD).

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