I have an iPhone 5s locked to Softbank Japan.
No block or barred whatsoever since its of my girlfriend who paid full amount for it and now contract is over.

Tried myimeiunlock with no luck! After 44days they refunded me reason: "unlock delayed more than expected, you can submit a new order."

Anyone that can help me identify a fast and reliable
Unlock for the phone? Thanks

Searching for IMEI unlock

I have been searching IMEI unlock for my iPhone 6 plus for 3 days already. I decided to go for Samunlocks as recommended in this post just now. I will let you know the outcome.

It is the pain and so many people are making money out of these scams! It is even scarier when you read their terms and conditions!

huh...

Samunlocks rejected my order saying it is under contract... I will ask for refund...

Now I think I will try either one of unlockallcellular.com or theofficialunlocks.com and will let you guys know the result...

Edit: Refund received from Samunlocks. Quick email reply from them and quick response. Too bad their 100% guaranteed service is down temporarily.

Great unlock for NTT Docomo Japan

I would like to leave feedback for a service I was recently able to use to unlock my NTT Docomo Japan iphone 6 plus, which trust me, isn't easy to find a company that can do. They were able to get my phone unlocked from NTT Docomo, which is extremely difficult.

Some people have already mentioned the guy on this forum in this and other threads: Riz of theofficialunlocks.com
He can be found using the website: http://theofficialunlocks.com/ or via Pakgamers http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f188/permanent-iphone-factory-unlock-service-171861/

He took care of me and made sure my unlock went through, a solid service like this is hard to pass up if you need a difficult to get unlock (such as Japanese carriers). He really helped me out, so I hope it can help some of you guys as well!

They are scams as far as I know. You can't unlock iPhone using the software. I wouldn't use them.

For as long as people continue to believe jailbreaking = unlocking, they will continue to get scammed by these scammers.

on the side note, 100% unlock services appear to be up and running again. I seen they were down like 2 weeks ago.

That's right. 100% is up and running again on the sites which they put it away for a week or so. The down side is that there are many backlog and I think I am in the queue for mine getting unlocked.

Imei unlock for iPhone 5C

Reading thru the posts it appeared Samunlocks was being recommended, at least by one poster. Checking their site it seems the price for a 5C t-mo unlock would be 150$. I have attempted to contact them to verify. Will post my finding.
Was considering iPhone-unlocker-pro but have shelved that idea. Are there any other imei unlock services that are reliable that have recent success unlocking 5C iPhones (t-mo)?

T-Mobile is pretty expensive to unlock, its pretty much been this way since April 2013 when they first launched the iPhone.

I'm sure sam will get back to you, you can also text me him he's always very response from my experience.

No reply from samunlocks

Repeated attempts to establish contact with Samunlocks have been unsuccessful. Any ideas on how to make contact with this service? Has anyone been in contact with Samunlocks recently? Has anyone recently used this unlocker service recently?

# on the site: 847-701-5125 call or txt him, fastest response through it I would say. If he hasn't responded usually means he must be really busy because he normally responds pretty fast to emails.

Nice, I just ordered one today on premium, pricing is more affordable now.

EDIT: My order was done within 36 hours I would say tops, Samunlocks got it done pretty fast this time, from what I had seen months back where it took days.

Guys, correct me if I'm wrong but can thieves with stolen iphone unlock them using these methods?
Usually the first thing that people do when they have their phones stoles is block the IMEI so the "phone" functionally is lost.

IMEI block is usually for the continent the phone is from. So if a lost or stolen phone from the U.S. gets unlocked and then shipped to Asia or Europe, it's a good chance it will work.

Ordered unlock from "fordrenn" through Ebay for a Sprint (international) unlock. Took four working days and worked flawlessly. 95 USD.
