I've ordered an iPhone sent from apple will my sim still work in this when it arrives

I presume that an iPhone from Apple is unlocked for use on any network?

Only unlocked handsets work on 48.

iPhone SE takes a nano SIM so if your existing SIM is a nano/dual SIM then it should work fine.

If not then you will need to order a replacement nano/dual SIM:

Need to swap your SIM?

Note that iPhones often (always?) require activation on a new network and this will involve the automatic sending of a UK SMS which costs 25c charged from your cash credit balance.

So when you get the phone if it does not work straight off (e.g. no signal or can't make calls/send texts etc.) you should put a small amount of cash credit on your account (€1 is the minimum), switch off and on again and then wait a bit until it activates.

Apple insist on this stupid process for reasons best known to themselves.

No other phone manufacturer requires this as far as I know.

Hope this helps.

Should work so - but pay heed to the sim and activation issues that I mentioned above.
