Hello! You can enable a personal hotspot on your device to share eSIM data with your family. Just make sure the device you use supports hotspot functionality.

When I traveled to Thailand with my family, we used one device with an eSIM as a hotspot. It worked great for basic browsing and maps, but be mindful of high data usage apps.

Consider setting up data limits on each device connected to the hotspot to avoid unexpected consumption. This can help manage the data efficiently.

We recommend ensuring all devices are updated over Wi-Fi before the trip. This can prevent them from using large amounts of data when connected to the eSIM.

I found that having a portable power bank was handy since using a phone as a hotspot can drain the battery quickly. It's a must-have for family trips!

If your kids have their own devices, make sure you turn off any background app refreshes and automatic updates to save data.

Nina S. · Answer

Using messaging apps that work offline or with minimal data, like WhatsApp, can help stay connected without eating up too much data.

Last time, I set up a schedule to turn the hotspot on only at certain times, which helped keep our family focused on activities without constant phone distraction.
