I recently tried to unlock my iPhone using mobileunlocked.com. I initially paid $24, but now they've asked me for an additional $84 to complete the unlock. Is this a common practice for IMEI unlocking services, or should I consider disputing the charges? Any insights or experiences would be really helpful!

If it looks suspicious, it usually is! If you've already paid and they're hitting you with unexpected charges, it's definitely a red flag.
Honestly, this sounds like a scam. Generally, most carriers will unlock your phone for free after a certain period, as long as there aren't any unpaid balances. It seems like mobileunlocked might just be taking your info and passing it to the carrier, which is something you can easily do on your own. They might be trying to charge you more because your carrier has its own fees, but it feels like they're just cashing in on confusion.
I totally agree! Seems like they might be trying to upsell to make more money.
