📶 Updated 2026-07-23
Hotspot is allowed on Karib eSIMs at no extra cost: one phone shares its network to tablets, laptops and other phones over wifi. Expect higher usage — 20 GB is the right size for a family — and bring a power bank.
You've arrived. Grandma's wifi is slow or nonexistent, the kids want their shows, your partner has a work call, and everyone looks at you. One phone with the right eSIM plan saves the evening: switch on Mobile hotspot and the tablets connect like to any wifi.
1) Put a real password on the hotspot — or the neighbor's teenager surfs on your plan. 2) Connect at most 3–4 devices; more just slows everyone down. 3) Keep the phone on a charger or power bank — hotspot drains battery faster than anything else you'll do on the trip. On iPhone it's Personal Hotspot, on Samsung Mobile Hotspot.
Shared network means shared usage: the kids' streaming pulls 1–3 GB per hour, straight from YOUR plan. Family rule of thumb: your own usage × number of devices. Two weeks with two kids' tablets = take the 20 GB plan up front. If it still runs out you top up the same eSIM in one tap — but the right size from the start is cheaper.
No. The data is yours — use it on the phone or share it, same price. No speed penalty for sharing either.
Yes — the connecting device only needs wifi, not eSIM. Only the phone that SHARES needs eSIM support. One modern phone in the group is enough.
For adults moving separately: yes, own eSIMs are freer. For kids and family evenings at home: hotspot is plenty and cheaper. Many do both — small individual plans plus one big one to share.
