Can I use my eSIM as a hotspot for my laptop?

Yes, most travel eSIMs let you tether your laptop, but many providers limit the high-speed data you can use via hotspot each day through a Fair Use Policy.

Which eSIM has truly unlimited hotspot data?

As of May 2026, Roamless and Ubigi are the two providers that do not impose their own cap or throttle on hotspot data. Your usage is limited only by the local carrier and, for Roamless, your pay-as-you-go balance.

Does Holafly allow tethering?

Holafly's standard destination plans cap hotspot data at 500MB to 1GB per day, which is too small for laptop work. Its separate, pricier Holafly Connect subscription at $64.90/month does offer unlimited hotspot data.

What happens after I hit the daily hotspot cap?

Your speed is throttled for the rest of the 24-hour period, typically to 1Mbps or 512kbps — fast enough for email but too slow for reliable video calls.

Is USB tethering better than a WiFi hotspot?

For remote work, yes. USB tethering is faster, lower-latency, and more stable; it also stops the phone overheating and charges it at the same time.
