Need to get your laptop or tablet online abroad? Most travel eSIMs support hotspot. Here is how.
A personal hotspot lets you share your eSIM data with other devices — perfect for working on a laptop or connecting a travel companion.
Turning on hotspot
- iPhone: Settings → Personal Hotspot → Allow Others to Join.
- Android: Settings → Network & internet → Hotspot & tethering.
Make sure your travel eSIM is the active data line before enabling hotspot.
Watch your data
Laptops and tablets consume far more data than phones. If you plan to tether often, buy a larger plan or one with high-speed allowance to match.
Most travel eSIMs allow hotspot, but always check your plan's details before relying on it.
