Hotspot with Total Wireless?

Anyone know how this works? I’ve never used a hotspot before, but my power is out so I wanted to try it. I went to my settings on my iPhone, and it won’t let me turn hotspot on. Does T W not allow hotspots?

does your iphone have all the latest updates ??

Hotspot via a phone is against the T&C, and they can disable your data if you use it too much.

If TW were to catch me using my phone's hotspot, would they axe just my number, or all lines on the account (I'm on the 2 line $60 plan)? Would I still be able to port out if they shut me down?

We don't know the penalty.
I did use hotspot briefly when the Internet was out, but it was just for a day and way under the data limit.
I assume that they'll have a beef with hotspots on the accounts that are close to the data limit.

I've found one old thread: https://www.howardforums.com/showthr...otal-wireless/ The last comment says that it works, so you may try to do smth like that. But that user had Android.

Nope. TW messaged me back on this. It's not available. Phooey.
