Hotpot data sharing

Hi Public Mobile Community,

Does anyone know if the $34 5G plan allows hotpot data sharing? I already have my hotpot turned on but still don’t seem to be able to get that working.

thank you!

@MissChanChan: Yes all plans which include data allow hotspot data sharing. I've done this myself. However I believe this also depends on the phone configuration that you use. When you try to connect to your hotspot using the other device, can you see the hotspot network?

@MissChanChan

PM allows hotspot with no restriction at all

i believe you are using iPhone, check the APN settings

Settings > Cellular/Mobile Data > Mobile Data Options > Cellular (or Mobile Data Networks)

In the Personal Hotspot section, make sure APN is set to sp.mb.com

Updated the APN and is now working, thanks.
