While tethering is usually available, carriers use plan rules and network restrictions to manage how much you share. Common Hotspot Limits<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Data Caps & Throttling: Your "unlimited" data plan usually only applies to your phone. Hotspot usage is often capped (e.g., 15GB to 50GB). Once you exceed this, speeds are heavily throttled to slow 2G or 3G speeds. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Device Limits: Some carriers cap the number of devices you can connect to your personal hotspot simultaneously (often restricted to just 1 device). </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Feature Blocking: Basic or cheap prepaid plans may block the tethering feature completely at the network level. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Data-Only Restrictions: Conversely, if you are using a dedicated data-only SIM (like a tablet or router SIM) in a smartphone, the carrier may block the signal because it violates the plan's terms of service. </li> </ul></blockquote>
