In the US the “Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act” which was signed by President Barack Obama makes it legal for any smartphone or cellphone users who has fulfilled all requirements of their phone contract to unlock their phone and move to another carrier.
For the UK it is confirmed it is not illegal to unlock any smartphone or cell phone as long as it has legally been paid for. Mobile phone companies are not allowed to make phones unlockable, so the law is on your side.

The experience here is unbelievable, it took them just two days to unlock my 7s, I’m so happy, I’m very impressed, thank you very much, I would patronize again and again.
Full unlock of an iPhone 6 in less than 48 hours, Communication is good and tracker showing the progress a particularly useful feature. Well worth it to deliver a fully approved permanent unlock.
Took a few days to complete but unlike other companies it actually worked. FULLY RECOMMEND!! With other companies i was messed around and I would have to wait weeks to get my money back here they completed in 2 days.
I am over satisfied with the service they provided. Wasn’t to expensive and may iPhone 7+ was unlocked in 3 days! Now I can use my phone with any provider and couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much.
