What types of phone locks can Easy Unlock help with?
Easy Unlock specializes in a variety of unlocking services, including:
- Carrier Unlocks: Freeing your phone to be used with any compatible SIM card from any carrier.
- iCloud Activation Lock Removal: Assisting legitimate owners in regaining access to their Apple devices.
- Android FRP Lock Removal: Helping rightful owners bypass Factory Reset Protection on Android devices.
- MDM (Mobile Device Management) Lock Removal: For devices that are no longer under an organization's management and belong to the user.
- We also offer various Device Checker Services like IMEI Blacklist Checks, GSX Reports, and iPhone Carrier Checks to provide you with crucial information about your device.
Is phone unlocking legal?
Yes, in most regions, unlocking a phone you own is perfectly legal, especially after your contract obligations with a carrier are fulfilled. For activation locks like iCloud or FRP, it's legal if you are the rightful owner of the device or have explicit permission from the owner. Easy Unlock operates ethically and legally, and we will not process orders for devices reported as lost or stolen.
How long does the unlocking process take?
The time frame varies depending on the type of lock, the device model, and the carrier (if applicable). Many of our services, especially IMEI-based unlocks and checks, are processed very quickly, sometimes within hours. More complex unlocks might take a few business days. Each service page on our website provides an estimated turnaround time.
What information do I need to provide to unlock my phone?
Typically, the most important piece of information is your phone's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. For some services, we might also need the device model and current network. You can usually find the IMEI by dialing *#06# on your phone or checking the device settings or SIM tray.
Will unlocking void my phone's warranty?
Carrier unlocking your phone, especially after your contract is up or if done through official channels, generally does not void the manufacturer's warranty. However, methods for bypassing activation locks or software modifications could potentially have warranty implications. We recommend checking your warranty terms. Our IMEI-based carrier unlocks are typically the safest in this regard as they are official and permanent.
Is the unlock permanent?
Yes, our IMEI-based carrier unlocks are permanent and will survive updates and factory resets. Activation lock removals are also designed to be permanent, allowing you to use your own accounts on the device.
What if my phone can't be unlocked?
While we have a high success rate, there are instances where an unlock may not be possible (e.g., heavily blacklisted device, specific carrier policies, unsupported models for certain locks). If we are unable to unlock your device, we offer a clear refund policy. Please check the terms for the specific service you are ordering.
How do I know if my phone is blacklisted?
We offer an IMEI Blacklist Check service that can tell you if your phone has been reported lost, stolen, or has unpaid bills associated with it. It's a good idea to check this before attempting an unlock or purchasing a used phone.
What makes Easy Unlock different from other services?

- Speed and Efficiency: We strive for the fastest possible turnaround times.

Do I need technical skills to use your service?
Not at all! Our services are designed for everyone. For most unlocks, you simply provide your IMEI, and we handle the rest. If any simple steps are required on your end (like connecting to iTunes for an iPhone carrier unlock), we provide clear instructions.
We hope this FAQ has been helpful! Our goal is to make phone unlocking accessible, safe, and easy for everyone.
