Comment on Show HN: DIY solution to enable hotspot, when your eSIM does not support it

Comments

I wondered: why can't I use my phone's LTE data to hotspot?

I heard of this 10 years ago, but is this still the case in the US? You can't just hotspot? I thought iOS and Mac devices did this automatically when they were near each other.

At least for me on AT&T, using my phone as hotspot is part of my service plan with the carrier. Given that I pay for it, it works as you describe.

The hacks described here are if you don’t have hotspot usage enabled with the carrier.

Culture shock!
