Yes, you can definitely use your personal hotspot with your eSIM, as long as your device and network support it.
On iOS:
- Open Settings
- Select Personal Hotspot
- Turn on “Allow Others to Join”
Check your eSIM installation page to see if an APN is needed. If the eSIM requires you to set the APN manually, you’ll need to do that for the hotspot APN as well, following these steps:
- Open Settings on your device
- Go to Cellular/Mobile Data
- Select your eSIM under Cellular/Mobile Data Plans
- Tap on Cellular/Mobile Data Network
- In the Personal Hotspot APN field, enter the APN exactly as it appears in the eSIM installation details (all lowercase, one word)
- Leave Username and password fields empty
On Android:
To enable your device's hotspot, please follow these steps:

- Select Network & Internet
- Tap on "Hotspot & tethering"
- Tap on "Wi-Fi hotspot" and turn on "Wi-Fi hotspot"
