Service Details

CellUnlock.net focuses on providing unlocking solutions for GSM phones. Follow these simple steps to request an unlock code:

  • Choose your phone brand and model
  • Select the network carrier your phone is currently locked to
  • The service calculates your order charges and displays it to you. If you continue with your order request, you will be asked to provide phone and payment details.

Once your code is ready, you will receive an email. The email contains the unlock code and the unlocking instructions on how to unlock your mobile handset. There might be cases where an unlock code is not available for your device but an alternate solution might exist that could help you unlock your mobile handset. In either case, you will be notified in time by the service provider.

Time Frame for Delivery: Depending on your phone model and the network carrier your phone is currently locked to, the order delivery time varies. When you place your order, the service provider calculates the estimated delivery time for your order and displays it to you. The company tries its best to deliver you the order within the time specified, but sometimes the order delivery time might exceed the average delivery time specified for your order.

The service allows its customers to check the status of their order.
