Yes!

Nomad eSIMs support tethering, enabling you to share your mobile data with other devices such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones.

Setting Up Your Nomad eSIM Hotspot

To activate the hotspot function on most devices, navigate to the settings menu, find 'Hotspot' or 'Tethering,' and toggle it on.

However, there may be some rare cases where your device type and the local network may influence the stability of the hotspot. In such cases, we cannot guarantee hotspot functionality.

Stability issues may arise from device compatibility and local network conditions, including factors like region and network congestion.
