Hi,

Ive just purchased a new iPhone SE 2020 in under contract, but just wondered about whether it's locked/unlocked? Reason I ask is I also use another sim - an EE one - for my small business and would like to be able to use both?

Conflicting info on the ID mobile page about iPhones.  Read on here that they're unlocked but the main page says iPhones are locked.

Can someone confirm either way please ☺️

Thanks x

Hi @abitfairytale,

The handset should be unlocked to all UK networks.

It’s best to confirm and check this by inserting a different network SIM in the handset.

Hello @abitfairytale,

Not directly related but, from Dec 2021, UK mobile networks will not be allowed to sell locked mobile phones.

In addition, your iPhone SE supports dual SIMs; if you ask EE for an eSIM then you could use your iD nano SIM and your EE eSIM together - no need to remove a SIM from your iPhone.to switch between networks.
