There is no free Wi-Fi available, and the fastest solution is to use your phone as a portable router. This is when the question emerges: Can I use the&nbsp;<strong>Saily eSIM as a hotspot<\/strong>&nbsp;in any country?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many travellers, sharing internet from the phone is as essential as carrying an extra battery. Therefore, the&nbsp;<strong>choice of the right eSIM<\/strong>&nbsp;can make the difference between staying connected or getting stuck. In this article, we will check if the Saily eSIM allows data sharing with other devices, how to configure it step by step, whether an eSIM signal is weaker than a physical SIM, and which other eSIMs perform well as hotspots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right eSIM can save you many problems along the way.

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yes, you can configure the Saily eSIM as a hotspot<\/strong>&nbsp;and use it to share data with other devices. The process is very similar to using any physical SIM and works on both iOS and Android.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On\u00a0<strong>iPhone (iOS)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check that your Saily eSIM is installed and activated as the data line.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Personal Hotspot.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable the option \u201cAllow Others to Join\u201d.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Note down the password shown or change it to something easier to remember.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect your laptop to the Wi-Fi network created by your iPhone.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On\u00a0<strong>Android\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Confirm that the Saily eSIM is the active data line.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot and Tethering (it may vary depending on your model).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on Wi-Fi Hotspot and enable it.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set the network name and password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect the device you want using those details.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In both cases, before using the hotspot, the best idea is to check the coverage and speed of your connection. The Saily eSIM as a hotspot works very well on 4G and 5G networks. However, the experience will not be the same in areas with weak signal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always remember that the experience may change depending on your chosen destination. For example, if you travel to Japan, you can check <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/japan\/internet-japan-esim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the best eSIM for internet in Japan<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and ensure your connection remains stable from the first day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-the-signal-of-an-esim-hotspot-weaker\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is-the-signal-of-an-eSIM-hotspot-weaker\"><\/span><strong>Is the signal of an eSIM hotspot weaker?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common doubts is whether an eSIM offers weaker signal than a physical SIM. The answer is no. The answer is no. The Saily eSIM as a hotspot&nbsp;<strong>does not lose signal just because it is virtual<\/strong>. Coverage and speed depend on the mobile network your phone connects to, not on the card format.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What may change is the experience depending on the local operator with which Saily has agreements in your destination. For example, if the only available coverage in your area is slower or overloaded, hotspot performance will drop. And this situation is the same for any eSIM or physical SIM.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do you want a reliable data eSIM for any destination worldwide?

However, after a couple of hours, the phone battery starts dropping, and the connection weakens because you are in an area with unstable signal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This situation is far more common than it seems when travelling.&nbsp;<strong>Using a hotspot consumes more battery<\/strong>&nbsp;and, if the network is unstable, the phone needs to work harder to keep the connection. For this reason, if you plan to rely on the&nbsp;<strong>Saily eSIM as a hotspot<\/strong>&nbsp;for several hours, you should always carry an extra battery and limit the number of connected devices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-other-esims-work-as-a-hotspot\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which-other-eSIMs-work-as-a-hotspot\"><\/span><strong>Which other eSIMs work as a hotspot?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Saily is a valid option for sharing internet, there are other eSIMs on the market offering additional advantages, such as unlimited plans, better coverage in specific regions, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-holafly-unlimited-plans-and-global-coverage-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Holafly-unlimited-plans-and-global-coverage\"><\/span><strong>Holafly: unlimited plans and global coverage&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For many travellers, Holafly is the&nbsp;<strong>best alternative<\/strong>&nbsp;if you want to use your phone as a hotspot without worrying about data usage.

It is perfect if you need to send an urgent email from your laptop, share internet with your tablet, or help a travel companion without data. Its operation is as simple as a physical SIM, and the signal quality depends on the available network in your destination.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you want unlimited plans or a<strong>&nbsp;more robust and stable coverage for hotspot use<\/strong>, without worrying about gigabytes, Holafly is the most recommended option. The most important thing in this case is to&nbsp;<strong>assess your needs before travelling<\/strong>&nbsp;and choose the eSIM that best fits your route.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-saily-esim-as-a-hotspot\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently-asked-questions-about-the-Saily-eSIM-as-a-hotspot\"><\/span><strong>Frequently asked questions about the Saily eSIM as a hotspot<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1758207072886\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I use the Saily eSIM as a hotspot in any country?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, but only if your destination has coverage with Saily\u2019s partner operators. The hotspot works like a physical SIM, but speed and stability will depend on the local network available in the area.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1758207075161\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Does the Saily eSIM as a hotspot drain more battery?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, using the hotspot consumes more battery because the phone works like a router.

What really matters is the quality of the network you connect to.

The ideal choice in this situation is to limit simultaneous connections and use it only for important tasks, especially if your data plan is not unlimited.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1758207181067\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I use the Saily eSIM as a hotspot on a laptop?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you just need to enable the hotspot option on your phone and connect the computer to the Wi-Fi network created.
