よくある質問
Does eSIMonline set a maximum number of devices for sharing?+
No. The limit comes from the phone broadcasting the hotspot itself, not from the data plan.
Does connecting more devices slow down the host phone's own browsing too?+
It can, since the available data is shared across everything using it at once, including the phone doing the broadcasting.
Does sharing a hotspot use extra data beyond what the plan already includes?+
No separate allowance is created. Sharing draws from the same data pool the plan already gives that phone.
A device won't connect even though the group hasn't reached the phone's supported count — what to check first?+
Double-check the password first, then see whether the hotspot switched itself off after sitting with nothing connected for a while, or because a battery saver is active.
Is it better to share one phone, or should everyone in the group have their own eSIM?+
It depends on the group's needs. Separate eSIMs give each person their own unshared signal, while sharing one phone saves on the number of plans bought but requires staying close together and accepting reduced speed as more devices attach.
Can a data cap be set for each individual device connected to a hotspot?+
That depends on the broadcasting phone's own features and operating system, not something an eSIM plan controls. Check that specific phone's own settings for whether such a feature exists.
Instagram and TikTok have no web share button, so we open your phone's share sheet or copy the link instead.
