It started with a good deal and a bad surprise.
I found a great deal on a used iPhone 12 through a local marketplace. Clean device, no scratches, battery in great shape — looked practically new. The seller said everything worked. And it did… until I inserted my SIM card.
Boom. “SIM Not Supported.”
Turns out, the phone was still locked to a U.S. carrier, and I live nowhere near the U.S.
So, there I was: stuck with a nearly perfect phone that wouldn’t work with my SIM — and the seller had already ghosted me. I tried reaching out to the original carrier, but they wouldn’t unlock it because I wasn’t the original account holder.
I didn’t want to give up.
I knew phone unlocking was a thing, but I also knew the internet was full of shady services and scams. I started digging — reviews, Reddit threads, YouTube videos — and the name UnlockHere kept popping up. It sounded legit, and the site looked clean and simple.
So, I decided to try it myself.
I held my breath, popped in the SIM — and boom.
The phone picked up my local carrier instantly. Data worked, calls went through, everything felt just like a regular phone again. No errors, no jailbreaking, no headaches.
What I liked:
What I didn’t love:
If you’re in a similar situation, I say go for it. Just make sure your phone isn’t blacklisted or activation-locked, and follow the steps.
Would I use UnlockHere.com again?
No hesitation — yes.
Would I recommend it to a friend?
Already did.

What Using UnlockHere Was Actually Like
The process was refreshingly simple:- I found my IMEI number (just dialed *#06# on the phone).
- Entered it on UnlockHere’s site along with the carrier info.
- Paid (they take cards and PayPal — I used PayPal for peace of mind).
- Got a confirmation email in under five minutes.
- Waited…
