iMore Question

Hi,

I'm french and I'm in America for a few months.
I'd like to buy an iPhone 5s already used on eBay, an unlocked and GSM one.
I just wanna make sure i't's gonna work when I'll be back to France. My french operator is named Bouygues Telecom.
Is there possibilities that I got some problems?

Thank you

Any iPhone5 or above on the Verizon network in the U.S. will be fine for your needs.
