How to Use a third-party iPhone unlocking service

How to Use a third-party unlocking service: The notable alternative to contacting your carrier and asking them to unlock the iPhone is to use a mobile phone unlocking service. There are many retailers in most areas who will arrange an unlock code to unlock your phone for a small fee.


Though they are not always reputable, you can also find online services that will unlock your iPhone, but we would advise against it. In case you decide to use one, please make sure that you read all of the small print before you buy, because they can surprise you with extra bills at the end of the process.

You can try Doctor SIM, which promises to refund you in case the unlock is unsuccessful, so that could be an option if you have tried all of the methods listed above. Doctor SIM successfully unlocked our phone with no problems and no hidden fees, so we feel confident in recommending them.

How much should I pay for iPhone unlocking service?

Normally, you should not pay anything to unlock your iPhone, because your carrier should unlock it for you for free. But some carriers are still setting administration charges of up to £20. Third-party companies seem to charge between £10 and £25, and you would not pay more than that. Shop around if anybody quotes you a higher price than that.
