I am trying to register on Leboncoin but don’t have a French mobile number (I live in N. Ireland) does any know a way around this? Can I get a French SIM card and use it here? Thanks.

They have a customer service number for those outside of France. Perhaps someone there can help you:
Comment contacter le service client Leboncoin depuis l'étranger ?
Si vous êtes hors de France,à l'étranger, vous pouvez contacter le service client au +33140066150, appel facturé au prix d'une communication vers la France métropolitaine. Pour connaitre ce tarif, regardez le SMS reçu lors du passage de la frontière. Attention au décalage horaire par rapport aux horaires d'ouverture du service client !

Perhaps, but at least you can ask the question (in French, of course). I get the feeling that Leboncoin is intended for French residents, as the owner is Norwegian or something like that and the owner company may have other small ad services in other countries.
I know I have been looking at one of those "sell stuff online" sites that does allow you to sell to a few other countries in Europe - however they don't include the UK and they have (or appear to have) specific arrangements for cross-border transactions. Another one of those businesses I think would be interesting to learn the inside workings of.

Better to send that sort of thing via PM (or "Conversations" as it's called in this forum software). Since I see the intended recipient has gotten the info, I'm going to delete the two posts that cite the contact.

Consider the seller's point of view. How much time do you want to devote to these things if someone calls you with a bunch of questions about what you're trying to sell, but then tells you they'll be in the area "in a few days" or "next week." These small ad sites are based on quick turnaround of the items. Even with real estate or rentals, turnaround time is crucial. If you're not in the area and/or not able to keep an appointment for the same day or the next day, you run the risk of losing out. Period.

Guadeloupe and New Caledonia (as well as the other "exotic" locations listed there) are actually considered part of France (or at least "French Overseas Communities and Territories") and must be treated as being part of France.

And pretty much only those immediately adjacent to France.
