I checked this Unlock Telcom website to unlock my nokia 6600, which was on their unlockable mobile list, without any specifications mentioned. But after paying the fee, the emailed back as said nokia 6600 slide was not on their list. I emailed them back saying that for other models they have specified which exact model, but this wasn't the case for nokia 6600 and asked for refund. But they refused the refund and instead wanted to send me a sim card, which I didn't need. So I lost my money.

Like many others I haven,t as yet received the unlocking service or any response from the company.. So they have £4.99 for doing nothing other than taking the money !!!

I paid for an unlocking code from Unlock Telcom for a Sony Ericcson on 22 Dec, 08. Up to this day, I have not received the code and their website is even down. I've found them not return emails and as yet have not received the code.

It seems my experience was very different from all the previous posters.
Ordered a code for a phone not on their list by accident. But then paid the difference to unlock a more expensive phone, and received working code with 24 hours. Also answered all of my questions before I forked out the extra cash, as there are so many scammers about I had to double check.
Looks like I may have been lucky. This was Nov 08.
Looks like their website is down now though

Stay away from Unlock telecom. co.uk, they took my money through paypal and I was told to wait for around two hours only told that they can't unlock my mobile nor refund the money.

This is the second time i used these people i should of known both times i wanted an unlock code and both times advertised they did it but what a shock when it came to it they no longer did my phone but i could have a sim if i wanted cheeky or what. What a good way to make money the reason it takes so long to get to you is because they are writing new terms up.

They advertised that they could unlock my phone, however later mailed me to say that they did not as yet have an unlock code. However I could buy a sim form them or wait for the unlock code to be released as far as I am aware? I waited for this code and now notice that they want another £30! Do not appear to be a reputable company from my experience.

I do not recommend to use Unlock Telcom,
I paid Unlock Telecom through Paypal for three unlock codes for different phones, which I never received.
No reply to e-mails, phone number seems to be non existent, finally paypal saw in my favour and refunded my money.

Unlock Telcom have not yet sent me a code and in my opinion ignored my emails. I do not recommend this Mobile Phone Unlocking Service..

Having given me a price to unlock my phone by model number after half an hour they informed me that my model was not one they could unlock - the fact they already quoted a price to do something they were in fact unable to supply suggests that this is a total waste of time.

The service they supply to me was to take my money and tell me nothing at all in return. When I complained they then told me they can't unlock your phone and sent you some generic unlocking info. (garbage) which they scraped from t'internet. When I further complained they say you should have read the terms and conditions before buying from them.
In compensation they send you an out-of-date Orange SIM card.
Mm, I wonder if I will do business with them again?

Unlock Telcom iss not the only one, also foneszone.co.uk are doing the same, i paid £3.99 too, this is disgusting, i thought about it when i saw their web site, without a clear way to contact, i wish i could put my hands on them.

Don,t waste your money with them like I did, use a free site which worked perfectly for me.

Unlock Telecom not recommended be warned

This company appears to trade under Unlock Telecom and the more appropriate Virtual Effects Ltd. I have complained to paypal. I shall also be lodging at complaint tomorrow with trading standards.
I would advise giving this company a very wide berth.

I wanted to unlock my mobile and found their website, it all sounded good to me it was all secure etc. But they take your money for nothing. I have also posted on ixnet, and I am going to get in touch with Paypal about this. Do not use them!

I ordered a SIM card from unlocktelecom.co.uk, paid via Pay Pal, but have received nothing. They do not respond to order enquiries.

Unlock Telecom took my money from Paypal the same day and promised my code in 72 hours along with a confirmation email. I never got either! I emailed them via their website many times asking for the code or even a response. Nothing. Not even a "we are busy" response.
I have filed a complaint with Paypal so I hope to get my money back. I know its only £3.99 but why should companies get away with this?
DO NOT BUY A CODE FROM THIS COMPANY

My name is Harvey and I am the MD of Virtual Effects trading as Unlock Telecom.

<br/>Please contact me if you have not had your unlock info and I will sort out a full refund. Please supply name, date, and make & model of your mobile. Outbound email blocking has caused most of the problems customer have had. AOL being the worst.
