Mobile Unlocked

What Mobile Unlocked does

Mobile Unlocked is a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform that provides permanent remote unlocking of carrier-locked mobile phones, tablets, and watches. The service operates by submitting a device's 15-digit IMEI number to the originating network or device manufacturer so the device can be used with any compatible SIM. Apple devices are unlocked over-the-air via Wi-Fi or cellular networks, while other manufacturers receive unlock codes; the entire process is automated and delivered remotely with no requirement to ship the device. The platform supports 226 carriers across more than 180 countries and 80+ device models from approximately 28 manufacturers, including Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Motorola, LG, Google, and OnePlus. The business is operated by Technett Ltd, a UK private limited company (Company Number 12567096) registered in Coventry.

The company's product surface extends beyond unlocking to a suite of IMEI verification services covering blacklist status, carrier status, device replacement history, and brand-specific checks (iPhone, Samsung, Sprint). Live order tracking and pre-purchase eligibility checks are offered as additional features. Revenue is generated through one-time per-device fees, with pricing calculated dynamically based on device make, model, network, and country; Brazilian carrier unlocks start from $26 USD and US pricing is calculated at checkout. The go-to-market motion is purely product-led and self-serve: customers select their device, enter the IMEI, pay online, and receive the unlock without human intervention. Customer acquisition is driven by organic SEO across 14+ country-specific website variants, supported by verified reviews (17,699 reviews, 4.7/5 average) and educational blog content. The company claims to have unlocked 2.4 million phones cumulatively, with no disclosed external funding, partnerships, or enterprise customer relationships.

Emerging players

Regional players

• Back Market: Refurbished electronics marketplace that frequently deals with carrier-locked inventory and could partner with unlock services. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but operates in the same used-device ecosystem where unlocking demand originates.
