Here we have attempted to answer as many questions as possible about our iPhone network unlocking service. If you have a question that you don't see the answer too use the form on the contact page and we'll get back to you usually within a couple of hours.
Once you’ve purchased your iPhone factory unlock service one of our clever technicians gets to work ‘whitelisting’ your unique IMEI number. This is the number that’s stored in Apple’s database. After we factory unlock your iPhone it’s the same as if you bought it brand new from a shop without a contract.
Short answer, yes. The pricing can up and down over the course of a year which with some networks that means they become too expensive to provide a cost effective iPhone unlock service to customers.
Not at all. Our iPhone IMEI unlocking service covers all basebands and iOS. This includes: iOS 5, 5.0.1, 5.1, 5.1.1, 6, 6.0.2, 6.1, 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 6.1.5, 7, 7.0.2, 7.0.3, 7.0.4, 7.0.5, 7.0.6, 7.1, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 8,.0 8.02,8.2,8.3, 8.4, 8.4.1, 9.0, 9.0.1, 9.0.2, 9.1, 9.2, 9.2.1, 9.3, 9.3.1, 9.3.2, 9.3.3, 9.3.4, 9.3.5, 10.0, 10.0.1, 10.0.2+

Every iPhone is supplied with a unique 15 digit IMEI number.
- Option 1 - Your IMEI number is printed on the SIM tray of your iPhone.
- Option 2 - Make a call but type *#06# (Star/Hash/06/Hash)
- Option 3 - Go to Settings > General > About & scroll down
We operate a 3 stage unlocking process. The Stage 1 Checkmend is where we run a check to ensure that the phone is not reported lost, stolen, blocked or barred. We do this by checking your IMEI number.
In a small number of instances your unlock may run over the guideline times stated on the product pages. This can happen but it's nothing to worry about. Remember, if we can't unlock you we will provide you with a full refund.
If you still have an outstanding warranty and want to use our iPhone IMEI factory unlock service do not be concerned. In no way will your apple warranty be invalidated. We don’t touch your phone in any way and our procedure will never invalidate your warranty.
We get asked this a lot and the short answer is no. The unlock procedure is conducted digitally, we never touch your phone. All we need from you is your IMEI number.
Yes we can. It doesn't actually make any difference where your iPhone is. As long as you purchase the correct unlock for your model and network and provide the correct IMEI number - we can unlock you.
We can only change your order if you contact us within the first 2 hours of making your purchase. Once submitted to the database the nature of the unlocking process means we cannot alter the order or provide a refund. We have to pay each time we add an IMEI into the global unlocking database.
All our IMEI factory unlocks are permanent. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the service we provide please contact us and we'll do everything we can to resolve your issues.
You can update and use your iPhone like normal and it will always stay unlocked…forever!
