This is a common question even before buying, so straight to it: our eSIM plans support a personal hotspot (hotspot / tethering). You can share the phone's data with a laptop, tablet, console, or someone's phone next to you - just like with a regular SIM.
Connected devices browse through the same balance, so sharing simply draws from your existing plan. There's no special setting to enable in advance - just the hotspot itself.
Settings › "Personal Hotspot" › turn on "Allow Others to Join". If you have two lines, first make sure the eSIM is the data line. The password shows on the same screen - share it with whoever connects.
Settings › Connections › "Mobile Hotspot and Tethering" › turn on "Mobile Hotspot". Make sure the eSIM is set as the data SIM, and share the network name and password shown there.
Everything the connected devices browse comes off the same plan. Think of sharing as if you're browsing yourself - a laptop syncing the cloud or updating software can "swallow" a gigabyte fast.
Usually up to 5-10 devices at once (depends on the phone). For a family or couple's trip that's more than enough - one phone with a generous plan can connect the whole group.
On the connected devices turn off automatic app updates, photo backup and cloud sync, and keep the heavy stuff for hotel Wi-Fi. That way one shared plan lasts much longer.
If you plan to share, aim for a higher tier. Pick a destination and see the plans - it's easy to size it to the number of devices.

Yes, that's exactly what the hotspot is for. Note laptops use far more than a phone (updates, cloud, heavy tabs) - for extended work on the go, aim for a larger tier or combine with Wi-Fi.
Yes, tethering is allowed on our plans - there's no block and no extra charge for it. It simply draws from your balance like any other browsing.
Most of the data disappears into things the phone does on its own. Six settings close most of them, each in seconds - they come first here, and the explanation sits underneath.
