Compatibility between English iPhone & French SIM card

Hello,


Is an iPhone bought in London compatible with the sim card of a French operator?

I've just broke my iPhone in London and need to buy one within the day.


Many thanks for your answer

iPhone 7, iOS 13

IF you purchased an unlocked iPhone directly from Apple, yes. It should be fine.

Note that if you purchase it from any retailer other than Apple, such as carphone warehouse, it is NOT unlocked. It can only be activated on a UK carrier and will lock to the first carrier used.
