Is iPhoneIMEI.net registered on BBB?
iPhoneIMEI.net is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
3 days later they will claim you device is blacklisted by apple even though it is NOT at least not in my case as I said already it is mine and used as a test.
IF you have an icloud locked device only the previous owner can unlock it for you or unless you have proof of purchase.
If not then sadly you will just have to live with it because IPHONEIMEI will never be able to unlock anything for you nor will anyone else so don't bother.
So there you have it DON'T buy anything from them they will simply do nothing and tell you bogus reasons why they can't unlock your phone and cannot refund you.
I am in the process of disputing to my credit card company and their payment processor, you should do the same if you even purchased anything from them.
As per your previous reply in TRUSTPILOT,

Hi Hash, apologies that it appears this IMEI was not issued on the latest service now that it's back up and running I will speak to the team tomorrow morningabout getting resubmitted for you, apologies again but we'll sort this out."
You said you will let the team know the issue that i paid for this service on May 3rd 2019. Still my phone is not unlocked and there's no update from you. It's been a 15 Months still haven't unlocked and you guys worked on my two phones and you unlocked very well but this imei wasn't done Or if it's can't be done please pay back my money, I can provide my account details.
PHONE MODEL - IPHONE XS MAX

Ето съобщението което получих от тях:
"You have a pre-order, therefore as soon as the service is up and running you will be advised as indicated at the time of purchase:)
As your network is a pre-order currently ( not available) we expect an update back for its resumption in the next few weeks
https://iphoneimei.net/terms-and-conditions
If an unlock is temporarily unavailable, it will be offered as a "pre-order" at a fixed price of £19.99. Your IMEI will be automatically submitted once the unlock becomes available. If the unlock cost is greater than £19.99, you will be prompted to make a final payment. Please note that pre-orders are non-refundable."
When i ask for another phone for unlocking to different carrier, they charged 28$ using voucher attached with my email. After only 1 days, they replied to my email. "Unlocking is on the way and i have to pay another more 80$ to complete unlocking ". Really stupid people why they ask another more money? If they can't do, refund money what they promise. Why asking more money after paid and even money never retuned to my bank account! F*** Scammer! Careful!
It is time we need to do something we need to take down or do something... I need IT people to delete/ disrupt. To do! How many people they have cheated including me!
You have been warned.
The 5 stares reviews are fake:
November 25,2016
Dear Trustpilot User,
Trustpilot has been notified that this business has both incentivized their customers to post 5 star reviews and has offered assistance contingent on the removal of negative reviews on Trustpilot. This behavior contravenes our guidelines as it might have a misleading impact on the TrustScore and consumers.
The manipulation of reviews is a threat to consumers and businesses and we take it very seriously. We'll continue to safeguard the integrity of our community by fighting attempts to game the system, and we'll inform our users when we uncover deliberate attempts to cheat. You can read more on www.trustpilot.com/trust.
First iPhoneIMEI.net told me they will unlock my icloud for $28 then after two days they send me email to make the final payment that's meaning they check my imei and they ready to unlock my iPhone so i pay $42 then they send me email saying my iPhone is in blacklist stolen/lost and i have to wait for premium service and pay them £49.99 but i have approve that is a lie and i send them the tax bill for my iPhone and screenshot from others website that saying my imei is clean
But they refuse to refund me money to my credit card that i pay with it.
And today they send me mail saying that the premium service is available but i have to pay £49.99 and wait for 30 days to finished the process
I don't recommend this website. It's a Scaaaaaam.
I tried to use a prepaid credit card but the payment didnt go through. So I created a virtual credit card (You can create a virtual CC from Bank of America account) and submitted my first icloud unlock request. After three days they sent me some lame excuse saying the phone is in lost mode I know very well about phone unlocking & did multiple iCloud unlock for my customers from different vendors so I know what exactly is the phone status.
They claim theyll not refund the payment but offered a voucher that I can use for future unlocking order (but cannot be used for iCloud unlock).
I demanded a refund but so far no respond. Ill give them another two days & dispute my credit card company if they dont refund.
They posted many positive reviews (most likely manufactured/fake reviews) on their website. I also noticed a website called trustreview.net which might be associated or most probably run by iphoneimei.net.
Conclusion- they price is to good to be true & so does all the claim they make. Dont waste your time. Plus, DONT submit your credit card information to this website
I was duped by reading their positive reviews on their OWN SITE to find out the warnings posted by Trust pilot and ReviewFeeder on January 2019 wasting $165 dollars for an iPhone X to be unlocked. DO NOT FALL IN THE TRAP paying prior to the service being delivered losing $165 dollars that you worked hard for it.
As noted per email below, the request was placed on 11/18/2018 and we are now 90 days in and nothing from their end but the same generic answers that you see other consumers posting about them... Exactly the same wordings... Since I started requesting my refund back in mid January 2019. No one is replying back to my emails reasons to warn everyone on their deception and empty promises after trusting them with $165 to deliver.the unlock.
Total Paid GBP £117.98 (USD $165)

December 3 rd IPhoneIMEI.net wrote after I sent an email checking the status?
Thanks for your email. This IMEI was issued to the carrier on the 18th as per your order status page and is currently in process, don't worry as soon as its been unlocked you will be emailed as well as the order status page being updated. The average unlocking timeframe of this handset is 1-30 days (Monday-Friday). The percentage meter will give you a more accurate time scale for your device, if it reaches 100% and its not unlocked then we will chase the IMEI with the carrier for you and place it on priority. As you have paid for FastTrack service, your IMEI is on top of the spreadsheet to be done at the carrier's end, so along with the other FastTrack IMEI will be one of the first to be unlocked.
December 18th 2018, they wrote again a Generic answer: we hope to be given a date when this and other unlocks will be completed. We understand that they have incurred delays, but we do not want to leave our customers in the dark. I can assure you that we will all pull together to get all unlocks completed as soon as possible... Thank you for your patience
January 4th they wrote back: (same exact auto reply from December 3rd. See above):

WATCH OUT AND READ ALL 1 STAR REVIEWS WITH SAME ISSUES!
The Guys are only interested in getting more money from you
1: Prices quoted in USD and they take British Pounds from Your Account
2: Takes twice as long as they say, then them come back asking for heaps more money
3: They hide all the refund info, then point it out if you ask for a refund, when they fail to deliver
3: Site says 100% Guaranteed Refund. This is BS
4: They Only post good feedback on their site
5: There are other much cheaper and more honest companies to deal with
My Advice, go to ATT Website, where you can do it for free, DO NOT Use these Guys, they will just try to get you to pay for a Premium Service
Also if you try to look them up, they use a company in the Bahamas to hide their details, sure sign of scammers..
I requested unlock which come in preorder which means iPhoneIMEI.net will unlock my phone when their services is back up *which is not stated when"
I tried to trust them. And after over 1 month. My phone has not been unlocked and I haven't heard anything from them.
I emailed him during this period. And I got one reply, copy pasted below:

Terms and Conditions of iPhoneIMEI.net | iPhone IMEI.Net

Last updated (September 26,2015) You should read our Terms and Conditions before placing an order with iPhoneIMEI.net. If you disagree with any parts of terms, then...
If an unlock is temporarily unavailable, it will be offered as a "pre-order" at a fixed price of £19.99. Your IMEI will be automatically submitted once the unlock becomes available. If the unlock cost is greater than £19.99, you will be prompted to make a final payment. Please note that pre-orders are non-refundable.
And I replied to them. Asking how long is "few weeks" as if you literally speaks. Even a million weeks can be considered as few weeks.
Few weeks now has been few months. And I've sent them multiple reply, 3 to be exact after few weeks has turned to be few months. And not a single reply I received from them.
So, to everyone that is looking to use their service. Be careful of their words. And don't expect their pre-order to be reasonable (unless if you think waiting for more then 1 month for service to be up and running is reasonable)
Ordered iCloud Activation unlock without much thought (stupid me) and only realised afterwards when I had time to research further that it really was sketchy as thought it was initially. The type of order I had in particular noted 1-3 days for the unlock and on the 3rd day iPhoneIMEI.net sent an automated reply saying it was lost/stolen whereas in fact it was not and offering a voucher for the next purchase and 'premium unlock' services.
I was able to get a refund by contacting them asking for a full refund or I would open a transaction dispute with my bank. I received a straight up refund with no email reply so anyone in a similar situation should check their transaction history a few days later and expect no reply from them.
Thank you so much.

The initial £19.99 is the hook, iPhoneIMEI.net charge you just to check if they are able to release the IMEI.
They WILL CHARGE YOU another £74.99 to actually unlock your phone.
THE TOTAL PRICE OF THE SERVICE IS £94.99.
The initial 20 pounds gets you nowhere, other than to make you feel like you've already started the process.
Protip: If you ask them to refund your order, they'll knock the price of the second piece down to £67.50, bringing the total to £77.49.
The process will take a week. 7 Days. The only reason they say it could take less is to entice you into spending another £9.99 to "move to the front of the queue."
I figure the entire process is a load of bull. The only way to get Apple to unlock an IMEI is to have a physical person who works at Apple enter it into the Apple database. Its unethical, but an incredibly useful service otherwise. These business are running a racket.
Is it worth it? Maybe.
Is it ethical? No.
Did it work for me? Yes.
Will it cost you $126? Yes.
Should you ask for a refund to get a reduced price? Absolutely.
I work for a Phone repair shop that also sells and buys phones.
DO NOT USE IPHONEIMEI.NET FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT MAYBE WIPING YOUR ASS.
I paid 28.27 for an icloud activation unlock. Three days later received an email stating that my phone was black listed so iPhoneIMEI.net could finish unlocking the icloud activation, nor give me a refund. ( funny how i read 100% money back guarentee on their website)
Now i called T-mobile, Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and Apple. All these people have informed me that the phone is fine, and the only thing wrong seems to be the icloud activation lock.
So in conclusion, I had to call my bank, file a lost or stolen card that was used for this purchase, file fraud paperwork on the website and its " team " or league of villains awaiting their next victim to scam; just to get my damn 28.27 back from these scam artists. Run while you can. ( Or you can switch to android which doesnt have anything near
-------------------------------------------
You have actually purchased a pre-order for the unlock, not the unlock itself, as currently it's offline at the carrier end for this particular handset model.
By purchasing the pre-order, you are FastTrack'ed to the top of the queue for when the unlocking resumes and will be notified via email immediately and your IMEI submitted for unlocking.
Unfortunately, we have no estimate of the timescale for when the unlocking will resume, but it is rarely longer than 2 weeks! Usually unlocks go offline when new handsets are released (unlocking is suspended) or during busy holiday periods.
As per the terms of our website, pre-orders are non-refundable (https://iphoneimei.net/refund-policy)
-----------------------------------------------
That raises more questions that it answers. It's not clear what a "pre-order" is. Do they intend to charge me another fee at some point? Why would they lunge to scream "No refunds!" when I hadn't even asked about a refund, except that they know they're not actually providing any service to me? I wrote and asked these questions, and they never replied.
"Dear XXXX,
Thank-you for pre-ordering your unlock from iPhoneIMEI. We are pleased to inform you that the unlock for your iPhone 6 (IMEI No), previously locked to Vodafone, is now ready.
To release the unlock for your device which will be sent Over The Air using either 3G, WiFi or by connecting the iPhone to a computer running iTunes, please make the final unlocking payment, as stated prior to payment, of £30.00. Delivery to your iPhone takes 24-72 hours, as soon as it has delivered we will email you.
Click here for order tracking and then follow the instructions provided.
Please ensure your device is NOT locked to someone else's iCloud account before purchasing this unlock (device says 'Activation Lock'). This sim unlock will NOT help you. You need an iCloud unlock.
Your iPhone is a very expensive device and is subsidised by the carrier over the length of your contract, Vodafone require this additional unlocking fee to cover their potential loss of revenue. Some research on the internet of other unlocking sites will show you that our price is one of the lowest in the industry, and our timescale is certainly the fastest.
We do state on the website in several places (pricelist, terms and conditions, when you enter your IMEI, and the page prior to payment) that there will an additional price to pay.
We cannot refund pre-orders due to the cost of preparing the unlock, as stated on our homepage. However, if no further payment is made by yourself within 14 days we will remove the unlock and no further payment will be due. We can also transfer the pre-order payment to another handset if you wish, simply reply to this email.
Kind regards,
IPhoneIMEI Team
A division of DataCorp Ltd "
I provided them with the proof that it is not stolen nor lost, then they said ok we have made a refund. After one day, they sent me this funny email:
We are pleased to announce that iCloud Premium service is finally available. This removes the iCloud account for all devices, including barred ones.
Due to the popularity of the service timeframe is expected to take 30 days.
The price of this service is £99.99 but as a previous Clean iCloud purchaser your previous vouchers have been discounted for you leaving £49.99 to pay
--
So they revealed themselves by sending this email. How my mobile is reported as lost or stolen and they offer to unlock it?
Above all this, anyone can check their IMEI on apple website to check if it is blacklisted or not, and my phone's status is CLEAN. But this is their excuse to keep milking you and then ask you to wait for 30 days until you have no chance to report them with your bank and get the money back.
Do not ever deal with this scam website.
Please do not waste your money! I will explain how this scam company works. You initially pay $28 to supposedly unlock your phone but NOPE! IPhoneIMEI.net say that it will be done in 3-8 days but NOPE! I kept sending messages by email and after about 1 week or so someone replied saying that what I paid for ($28) was not the unlock but it was just to ensure to be told first when the unlock became available or how they termed it, it was a "pre-order". The first time you hear about this is when you email to complain to them so I bet they have this template email already prepared as I bet everyone has the same concern when the unlock never happens in the time frame they advertise. Eventually, about 3 months after I placed my "pre-order", I received an email that the unlock was ready for the "modest" price of $169.99. Basically just buy a new unlocked phone.
Dear, Iphone IMEI remember when I said that I would make sure to spread the word that this is a scam. I will not rest until this SCAM company is taken down. It is time that they stop taking advantage of people. SPREAD THE WORD!
