I was wondering if a phone (iPhone 14) is sim locked ? I am going abroad for some time and want to use a foreign SIM card. Will that be possible?

Hi @Lijana, Apple devides their territories into the Americas, EMEA, and the Asia Pacific. EMEA stands for Europe, Middle East, and Africa. If you buy a phone in the EMEA region, you can't use a sim card from a provider that's from another region. If this is your intent, you can contact Apple, to ask if they can remove the EMEA lock!

    Yes, you can. KPN stopped simlocking at least 10 years ago, so your iPhone is not simlocked.

    However, depending on the country/region you visit, your phone might be blocked by a region lock. With a region lock, a manufacturer of mobile telephones ensures that their devices are only used in the market for which they are intended. You'll need to check that with Apple.
