Hey, i was wondering if the iPhone 8 plus A1987 that i got my son for as a present to go back to college in France, will it work out there? The phone is still sealed i was going to give it to him in the next week when he leaves off to college, or is there something that i have to do in order for him to activate it once he gets there, he has the iphone 7 plus right now, and this 8 plus was an upgrade from AT&T on my contract, so i decided to give it to him and get the iPhone X for myself, would someone help me and let me know if i would have to do something? maybe call AT&T and have it unlocked for me, or since its a brand new phone from AT&T he can just use the carrier out there in France and switch over hes number to the new phone and thats all?

any ideas?
