How to install an eSIM on the TCL 60 XE NxtPaper
You receive the QR code by email and on your order page right after payment. Install it at home on Wi-Fi: the plan only starts when the device first connects to a network at your destination.
- 1Open Settings and search for "eSIM". It is usually under Connections, Network & internet or Mobile network.
- 2Tap Add eSIM (or Download a SIM).
- 3Scan the QR code from your email and confirm.
- 4Choose the new eSIM for mobile data and keep your usual SIM for calls and messages.
When you land, turn on Data Roaming for the travel eSIM only and check that mobile data uses it. Leave roaming off on your home line so your operator does not charge you.
Is your TCL 60 XE NxtPaper unlocked?
Phones bought outright from the manufacturer or a shop are usually unlocked. If yours came from a carrier with a contract, ask the carrier, or test it with a SIM card from another network.
Questions about the TCL 60 XE NxtPaper and eSIM
Can I keep my SIM card and use a travel eSIM on the TCL 60 XE NxtPaper?
Yes. Your usual line stays on for calls and texts, such as bank codes, and the travel eSIM handles mobile data. You choose which line uses data in settings.
Does a travel eSIM give the TCL 60 XE NxtPaper a phone number?
No. Travel eSIMs, including SimOwl’s, are data-only. WhatsApp, iMessage, FaceTime and other apps keep working with your usual number because they run over data.
Can I install the eSIM on the TCL 60 XE NxtPaper before my trip?
Yes, and it is the best option. Install it at home on Wi-Fi. The plan only starts when the device connects to a network at your destination.
Why does my TCL 60 XE NxtPaper refuse to add the eSIM?
Usually the device is locked to a carrier, it is a regional version without eSIM, or the QR code was already used on another device. Write to us and we will sort it out.
