VIP phone unlocking — Frequently Asked Questions

Who we are

Are you VIP Unlocks?

No. DirectUnlocks is a separate unlocking service and is not connected to vipunlocks.com. We unlock phones by IMEI on any network, and we have been doing it since 2015.

Which networks can you unlock?

Any supported network, in more than 200 countries. Choose your country and network at the top of this page and we will tell you what your handset needs before you pay.

Do you still unlock Vip Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia phones?

Yes. Vip is a real network in Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia, and those handsets are unlocked the same way as any other — pick the country from the list above.

How it works

What do you need from me?

Your IMEI and an email address. Nothing else — no account password, no PIN, no app to install and no call to your network. Dial *#06# on the handset to get the IMEI.

How long does it take?

Most unlocks are supplied within 24 hours. The exact time depends on the network and the model, and we tell you the expected window before you pay.

Is the unlock permanent?

Yes. It is recorded on the network side against your IMEI, so it survives software updates and factory resets. Nothing is installed on the phone and nothing is modified.

What happens if you cannot unlock it?

You get your money back. The one exception is a handset whose IMEI turns out to be barred on a national register, which is settled with a credit note — no service can clear that lock.
