Can I use hotspot with my travel eSIM?
Last updated: June 24, 2026
Yes, in most cases. You can use your phone's personal hotspot to share travel eSIM data with other devices, as long as your device and plan support it.
How to enable hotspot
iPhone: Settings → Personal Hotspot → turn on Allow Others to Join
Android / Samsung: Settings → Connections → Mobile Hotspot and Tethering → Mobile Hotspot → turn on
Make sure your travel eSIM is set as the active data line before enabling hotspot.
Hotspot not available?
If the hotspot option is greyed out or missing, your plan or device may restrict tethering. Check your plan details in the app.
Hotspot usage counts against your travel data allowance. If you are sharing data with other devices, monitor your balance more closely.
