How do we share data on a family trip to Thailand?

Question

We're a family of four heading to Thailand for two weeks. We want to avoid buying four separate plans and just share data. Can we use one eSIM with a mobile hotspot and what's the best way to do this?

Yes, you can share data via mobile hotspot with most GotoeSIM plans in Thailand. Just install the eSIM on one phone and enable personal hotspot. Note that some plans have a daily data cap for hotspot, so check the plan details.

We did this last month with one eSIM on my phone and it worked fine. Just be aware that hotspot drains your battery faster, so bring a power bank.

Priya K. · Answer

If you're mostly together, one hotspot is fine. But if you split up, it's better to get two eSIMs so each group stays connected.

Tom H. · Answer

I'd recommend getting a local SIM for the main phone and using that as a hotspot. It was cheaper for our family of four.

Carlos (GotoeSIM) · Answer

For a family of four, a single eSIM with hotspot can work, but keep in mind that heavy usage like streaming may hit fair usage limits. If you need more data, you can top up in the app anytime.

Aisha B. · Answer

We used two eSIMs: one for parents, one for teens. That way everyone had data without relying on hotspot all the time. It was easier.

David L. · Answer

Check if your phone supports hotspot while using eSIM. Some older phones don't allow it. Otherwise, it's a great money-saver.

Jenny M. · Answer

Sharing via hotspot worked for us, but we had to keep the phone charged. Next time, we'll just buy separate eSIMs for convenience.
