Will an unlocked iPhone 4 or 5 work on the French side with a Digicel Sim card?

Sorry, I don't know about digicell, but I have used iPhone 4s, 5 and 6s with Dauphin sim. It switches to TellCell when on the Dutch side.

rent a phone that's sure to work from Sharon, a sponsor here at TTOL Sharon, Queen of SXM. reasonable and great service

Thank you,but would really prefer to use my iPhone, it has all my stateside contacts which i use quite a bit.

Sharon also sells sim cards. Hers are Chippie, which she says works better on the island than the others. Mine worked fine last year, but my phone is an Android, so I can't respond to the iPhone question.

Okay, then. No techie whiz kid here (and that's probably the understatement of the ages.....), but I use an older version iPhone on island with a sim card purchased through Sharon and it works like a charm. And when there's an issue, it's nice to have Sharon and her expertise to fall back on. She really is the best!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

don't know about digicel, but I can tell you that my I5s and my wife's 6s definitely work well with a chippie sim card on the island

I will back up Sharon, great every year!
