Should I risk using http://cellunlocker.net/ to unlock a new phone?

I might buy the Moto G as its $200 but locked from telus ($200 flat)

If I want to buy unlocked from Amazon its $270, and the unlock is $20 

 

 

In the end, I will save around $50, should I do it?

I've unlocked my old Sony Experia X10 there I think. It worked!

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

It's all good dude. The phone is still working perfectly after I unlocked it more than a year ago. Anyways, I just looked at the Moto G from Amazon, and it is only $200 for the unlocked version. Is it because you're in Canada?

if it doesnt unlock then all u waste is $20. your phone doesnt combust by typing things into your phone

I thought there is a risk of bricking it?

When my brother gave me his Galaxy Note, he unlocked it for free. I forgot what he told AT&T so they could unlock it for him, but he just needed to call the provider and they gave him an unlock code. You should try that out before you buy the unlock code.

I think that may be ...because your brother satisfied all the conditions that teh network provider requier to unlock any phone....well...mine offered the unlock service..but the process was very prolonging..and since I had to leave early to UK, I unlocked my phone through a third party unlock, Wickedunlock.com and removed the network lock permanently.
