Traveling often means juggling multiple devices — your phone, laptop, tablet, or even your family’s devices. The good news is that with a Roamvy eSIM, you can turn your phone into a personal hotspot and share your data with others. It’s like carrying your own portable Wi-Fi everywhere you go.

This guide explains how to set up and manage data sharing from your eSIM, whether you’re using an iPhone or an Android device.

Why Use Your eSIM as a Hotspot?

• Save money: Instead of buying separate data plans for multiple devices, share one eSIM plan.
• Travel convenience: Keep your laptop or tablet connected on the go.
• Family & groups: Share one connection with friends or family members while traveling together.
• Flexibility: Works anywhere your Roamvy eSIM has coverage (200+ countries).

Setting Up a Personal Hotspot on iPhone (with eSIM)

1. Go to Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
2. Toggle Allow Others to Join.
3. Note your Wi-Fi password or customize it.
4. On the device you want to connect, search for your phone’s network and enter the password.

Tip: If you have multiple SIMs (physical and eSIM), make sure the Roamvy eSIM is the active data line under Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data.

Setting Up a Personal Hotspot on Android (with eSIM)

(Steps may vary slightly by brand, but here’s the general flow)

1. Open Settings > Network & Internet > Hotspot & Tethering.
2. Tap Wi-Fi Hotspot.
3. Toggle the feature ON.
4. Configure your Hotspot name (SSID) and password if needed.
5. Connect other devices using the displayed network and password.

Tip: On Samsung devices, the path is usually Settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot and Tethering.

Managing Data While Sharing

• Monitor usage: Hotspot sharing can use data faster, especially with video streaming or large downloads.
• Set limits: On Android, you can set mobile data warnings and limits under Settings > Data Usage.
• Choose the right plan: For heavy hotspot use, consider Roamvy’s Unlimited Plans or Build-Your-Own daily quota plans.
• Battery impact: Running a hotspot drains your battery faster. Carry a power bank when traveling.

FAQs About Using eSIM Hotspots

1. Can I use my eSIM hotspot for my laptop and tablet at the same time?
Yes. Most smartphones allow multiple devices to connect simultaneously — usually between 5–10 devices.

2. Will using hotspot drain my data faster?
Not directly, but since laptops and tablets consume more data (streaming, downloads), usage may feel faster than on a phone.

3. Do all eSIM plans support hotspot?
Most Roamvy plans support hotspot sharing, but some local carriers may restrict it. Always check plan details.

4. Does hotspot work internationally?
Yes. As long as your Roamvy eSIM has coverage, you can share your connection anywhere in 200+ countries.

5. Can I keep my physical SIM for calls while using eSIM for hotspot?
Yes. You can keep your home SIM for calls/texts while using your Roamvy eSIM as the data source.
