Most Roamify eSIMs allow you to share data through Wi-Fi with other devices. Check the Technical Specs of the eSIM you're considering to see if it includes data-sharing. If it does, just activate your hotspot, and you're good to go.

Yes, tethering and hotspot usage are explicitly allowed with your Roamify eSIM. These features can be used to share your mobile data connection with other devices easily.

Troubleshooting Hotspot Issues

If you encounter problems using the hotspot feature with your Roamify data-only eSIM, follow these steps to troubleshoot:

  1. Verify Plan Compatibility: Ensure that tethering (hotspot) is included and unlocked for your specific Roamify eSIM plan.

  2. Device Settings Check: Navigate to your device's cellular settings to confirm that the hotspot function is enabled.

  3. Patience for System Sync: In some cases, systems may take a little time to sync, and the issue may resolve itself after a brief period.

  4. Capture Issue Evidence: If the feature remains non-functional, consider taking a screenshot of your device's current settings screen (e.g., your device's cellular/connection settings) to share with Roamify support for better assistance.

If your hotspot is not working please make sure "data roaming" is turned on.

This tip can be helpful during the "Device Settings Check" stage outlined in the troubleshooting steps above.
