How Do I Share Data with My eSIM or Activate Hotspot?

To share data with your Holafly eSIM, you need to enable the hotspot that is included with your Holafly eSIM feature on your phone. If it is not working, follow these steps based on your device type to activate your personal hotspot and share your data effortlessly.



For iOS Devices:

  1. Open Settings: Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot.
  2. Enable Hotspot: Toggle the switch next to Allow Others to Join to ON.
  3. Connect Devices: Your hotspot is now active. You can connect other devices using the Wi-Fi network name displayed in the Personal Hotspot menu.

For Android Devices:

  1. Open Settings: Navigate to Settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot and Tethering > Mobile Hotspot.
  2. Activate Hotspot: Toggle the Mobile Hotspot switch to ON.
  3. Connect Devices: Your hotspot is now active. You can connect other devices using the Wi-Fi network name shown in the Mobile Hotspot menu.

Troubleshooting Tips:

  1. If You Can’t Share Data: Try toggling airplane mode on and off, then restart your device and reconnect.
  2. Confirm That Your Destination Allows Hotspot Use: Check the Technical Specifications of your plan.
  3. For our Holafly customers: visit www.holafly.com, find your eSIM destination, click on Technical Specs, and check the Hotspot section to verify compatibility and details.
