Using it abroad

Can I use my eSIM as a hotspot?

Quick answer

Yes, on most plans. Turn on Personal Hotspot on iPhone or Mobile Hotspot on Android, and other devices can use your eSIM data. It uses data faster, so keep an eye on what is left.

Step by step

    The hotspot shares whichever SIM is set for data.

    Connect your other device to the Wi-Fi name and password shown.

    Keep the phone close by.

Laptops can use a lot of data in the background. Pause cloud backups and updates while on hotspot.
