An Absolute Must Have Unlocking Tool for All Unlockers
Direct Codes is a very powerful and information rich device unlocking tool. I have been unlocking iPhones for over 10 years and this is probably the single most used unlocking server we use on a daily basis. It has many assets and advantages over every other unlocking server. However, it is not perfect and we will discuss everything there is to know about Direct Codes in this very document. Lets get into it.
Little unknown fact is that Direct Codes was actually the very first unlocking server I used when i first started unlocking iPhones over 10 years ago. The site has seen a major overhaul design wise since the first time I used it back in 2012. The user interface is much more polished than previous generations. DC (Direct Codes) as we will call it from now on in the post is unique in that it is actually designed by in house Direct Code developers. Most other unlocking sites and unlocking servers use a website development program named DHRU Fusion for the structure of their servers. DHRU web development is very useful and easy for starting your own unlocking site but the downside is that all DHRU site look similar. Direct Codes is a custom built iPhone unlock server. The DC unlock server is very easy to navigate and pretty snappy in terms of site navigation and their servers get results fairly fast. In fact they have improved the server response time drastically just in the past year. When pulling device checks the results are almost instant, with only 1 minute real world wait time for results to be generated.
When signing in for the first time anyone can make an account, from someone looking to unlock one device to the most experienced unlockers looking to create a business. Most other sites have an option to make a "regular" account for people looking to unlock one phone or a "reseller" account for people looking to make money unlocking many phones. DC (Direct Codes) has just one account type for everyone. Above is the home screen. This is what you will see after making an account. It is very basic but again, very easy to navigate. The menu is located in the top left of the screen. They offer remote OTA (Over The Air) unlocking services via device IMEI or Serial Number as well as physical unlock box and dongle credits. Physical unlock boxes and dongles are for unlocking customer phones in person. We never use these physical unlock dongles because we do not have a physical location. If you have a physical store you can purchase these physical unlock boxes and dongles online and purchase credits for those unlocks here at Direct Codes.
The DC dashboard shows you your current balance, amount in processing (amount of money spent on unlocks that are currently being unlocked), how many services you have completed, how many services rejected and how many services in processing at the moment.
Before you place your first order you need to fund your account. DC is one of the very few unlock servers that allow the user to fund their account by way of credit and debit card as well as crypto. Most all other unlock servers only allow crypto to fund your user account. This is why DC is one of the most unlock servers by myself. It is very simple and straight forward. They link their credit and debit card processing merchant via Stripe and can save your card info so every time you need to fund your account you just simply verify your three digit security code on the back of your card so you don't have to pull it out every time. Another added bonus is the funding is immediate. Most other unlock servers have to use a customer service rep to physically check your crypto transfer and physically load your funds into your account. DC is immediate. Load and unlock! They accept all major credit and debit cards as well as apple pay and google pay.
After funding your account, placing an order on Direct Codes is just as easy. Seek the "Place Order" section and then select "Device Services". There you will find a wealth of unlocking services.
The single biggest advantage DC has over all other unlock servers is their iPhone checking service. We use DC and their iPhone checking service daily because of this. Their servers are directly connected and directly tapped into the carrier servers and manufacture servers. Direct Codes offer factory direct unlocking. The results you get back on iPhone status checks are up to the second information. The results you get and see are the same information the carriers and manufactures see when looking up your device info.
The service above is where you will want to go when pulling information on an iPhone. It provides the most comprehensive information on a specific device. More information on a device than any other unlock server. Again, we use this service daily. It provides a good starting point with where you need to go next as far as unlocking. This starting point can tell you how and why a device has been locked as well as original carrier, warranty information, iCloud status, FMI status, GSMA whitelist or blacklist status, when the device was purchased, if the device has been activated plus so much more. Just check out a sample results from an iPhone check:
Not only do they provide wonderful iPhone status checks, they also provide many unlock options for iPhone and Android but they also provide a wide variety of carrier unlocking options from all carriers in the USA and carriers across the globe. Some hard to find carrier financed unlocks like carriers O2, A1, Orange, Telstra, 3 Huchinson, Vodafone and NTT Docomo. They have an extensive list of AT&T (USA) carrier financed unlocking options. Another added bonus is Samsung Account Lock Removal (FRP) and Xiaomi Account Removal services.
Direct Codes is also one of my go to unlocking servers for Bad ESN, IMEI Repair, IMEI Cleaning & Unbarring Services. They are usually always dependable when needing to remove a device from the lost / stolen status and returning it to clean / clear status. Simply search "Unb" for "Unbarring" and the services will populate. At the moment they have IMEI Repair for T-Mobile (USA) devices as well as AT&T (Mexico) devices. They normally include Verizon, Sprint & Cricket unbarring services however, those services are currently down at the moment but should be back very soon. In fact, those services should be back at the time you are reading this. Just Check. As i mentioned in the opening statement, they are not perfect. They do tent to lack in the iCloud removal services department. They do have iCloud services however, their iCloud services are bypasses and not full iCloud removals. You can check at the time of reading this but at the moment and most of the past, all htey provide are iCloud Byass which I always stay away from because you can bypass an activation lock but as soon as you reboot or update iOS, the activation (iCloud) lock will return. If you need a full and complete removal of an activation (iCloud) lock, please look elsewhere.
We usually know where all the unlock servers are located. I'm not 100% sure where Direct Codes is located but I'm pretty sure they are located in the USA. The customer support is usually on our (USA) time frame. Unlock most other unlock servers that are located in Europe or Asia and a question usually takes 8 hours to get a response, Direct Codes answers questions and helps you with inquiries almost immediately during normal USA business hours. DC id good about removing services from their site if the service is down or offline. If you see the service it is usually always working. If you do not see a service that means it is currently offline.
If looking to add your own unlocking website open to the public or private sector, Direct Codes offers API integration. API integration is a fantastic solution for automated iPhone/Android unlocking. Once paired with Direct Codes APIs all you have to do is make sure your account is funded to support all the orders you will be receiving and that is it. Once paired you can select the services you want ot offer from the Direct Codes unlock server and the same services will show up on your site. You can adjust the prices to make a profit and when a customer places an order on your website the service will automatically be placed. Make sure to set the notifications to how you want or the customer to be notified of any or all operations taken on Direct Codes. Notifications and API access can be found in the User Profile section of the site.
Direct Codes is an absolute must for any phone unlocker. Again, we use it every single day and is an excellent asset and tool to use to your advantage.
