Japan Softbank iPhone Unlock for iP 6S to 13 Pro Max Clean IMEI

Japan SoftBank iPhone unlock service

This service is for compatible iPhones that are currently locked to Japan SoftBank and need a network unlock for use with other carriers. It is intended for clean IMEI devices only, and it supports a defined range of iPhone models listed below. If your device is eligible, the unlock is processed remotely, so you do not need to send the phone anywhere.

It is a practical option if you bought a SoftBank-locked iPhone second-hand, received a replacement device, or need to switch carriers for travel or everyday use. Please check your model carefully before ordering, because older iPhone 4/5/6 devices are not supported by this service.

This service is for Japan SoftBank-locked devices only. It is not for iPhone 4, iPhone 5, or iPhone 6 models. The IMEI must be clean and eligible for processing. If the device is reported lost, stolen, unpaid, or otherwise restricted, it may not be accepted.

How it works

  1. You place the order and provide the device details requested at checkout.
  2. We check the IMEI and confirm whether the phone matches the supported model and network scope.
  3. If the device is eligible, we submit it for remote unlock processing.
  4. You wait for completion and follow any on-screen instructions if a carrier or SIM refresh is needed.
  5. Once finished, you can test the phone with a compatible SIM from another carrier.

What we need from you

  • The full 15-digit IMEI number
  • The exact iPhone model, if you know it
  • Confirmation that the device is locked to Japan SoftBank
  • Your contact email for order updates
  • Any notes about the device status, such as activation issues or prior repairs

Please enter the IMEI carefully. A single incorrect digit can delay processing or cause the order to be checked against the wrong device. If you are unsure of the model, you can find it in the phone settings or on the original packaging.

Delivery & turnaround

Typical delivery time is 1 to 24 hours after the order is submitted and the device is confirmed eligible. Many orders complete within that window, but delays can happen if the IMEI needs extra verification, if the device is outside the supported scope, or if processing queues are temporarily longer than usual. We recommend keeping the phone powered on and reachable during the turnaround period.

Frequently asked questions

What does “clean IMEI only” mean?

It means the phone should not have a bad status such as lost, stolen, blacklisted, unpaid, or otherwise restricted. Clean IMEI devices are more likely to be accepted for processing. If the IMEI is not eligible, the order may be delayed or rejected.

Will this work on iPhone 4, 5, or 6?

No. This service does not support iPhone 4, iPhone 5, or iPhone 6 models. It is limited to the supported models listed above, starting with iPhone 6S and newer.

Do I need to mail the phone in?

No. This is a remote service, so there is no shipping required. You only need to provide the correct IMEI and device information, then wait for the unlock to be processed.

Can I use any SIM after the unlock is completed?

After a successful unlock, the phone should be able to accept SIMs from other carriers that are compatible with the device and local network bands. Some carriers may still require normal activation or account setup on their side.

What if my order is taking longer than expected?

Most orders finish within the stated time window, but delays can occur due to verification checks or processing volume. If that happens, we continue working the order and update you as soon as there is progress.
