If I go to Europe, can I use this phone with a European chip?

Hi LUIGI, thanks for reaching out about Total Wireless TCL 50 XE 5G (128GB) - Blue. Whether you can use your Total Wireless TCL 50 XE 5G with a European SIM card depends on two main factors: Is the phone unlocked from Total Wireless? Does the phone support the necessary frequency bands used by European carriers? Let's break these down: 1. Phone Lock Status (Crucial!) Total Wireless (which is part of TracFone Wireless, now owned by Verizon) is a prepaid carrier in the US. Prepaid phones from these carriers are almost always "locked" to their network for a certain period of time (e.g., 60 days, 12 months, or until a certain amount of service is purchased). If your phone is still locked to Total Wireless, you will NOT be able to use a European SIM card in it. The phone will only work with a Total Wireless SIM. You need to ensure the phone is officially unlocked by Total Wireless/Verizon. You'll need to contact their customer service and meet their unlocking policy requirements. Until it's unlocked, putting a European SIM in it will not work. 2. Frequency Band Compatibility Assuming you get the phone unlocked, the next step is checking its compatibility with European networks. Europe primarily uses GSM technology for its mobile networks, and operates on different frequency bands than many US carriers. The TCL 50 XE 5G supports a good range of bands, including many common GSM and LTE bands. Here are some of the bands it supports (based on general specifications for the TCL 50 XE 5G, specific variants might have slight differences): 2G GSM: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz (These are global GSM bands, so 2G should work almost anywhere). 3G HSDPA: 850 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 MHz (Some European 3G bands are 900MHz and 2100MHz, which the US variant might miss. However, most modern usage relies on 4G/5G). 4G LTE Bands: It supports many LTE bands, including some common international ones like B1, B3, B7, B20, B28. Europe widely uses bands 3, 7, 20. 5G Bands: n2, n5, n25, n41, n48, n66, n71, n77 (HPUE)//n78. Europe widely uses n78 for 5G. Conclusion on Compatibility: If the phone is unlocked, there's a good chance it will work for basic calling and 4G LTE data in Europe, especially in major cities. The presence of common European LTE bands like B3, B7, and B20 is a positive sign. The 5G band n78 is also a key European 5G band. However, you might encounter situations where coverage is not as robust as a phone specifically designed for the European market, particularly in rural areas or with less common bands. Recommendation: Contact Total Wireless before you travel to inquire about their unlocking policy and initiate the unlocking process. This is the absolute first step. Without an unlocked phone, a European SIM will be useless. Once unlocked, you can purchase a local SIM card (e.g., from Vodafone, Orange, Deutsche Telekom, etc.) in Europe. Insert the European SIM, and your phone should ideally connect to the local network. Don't assume it will work just because it's a "5G" or "GSM" phone. The carrier lock is the biggest hurdle for US prepaid phones traveling internationally.
