I am currently traveling outside of the US. I have purchased a pre-paid SIM from the local provider. When I try and hotspot my Galaxy S4 checks my subscription status. Not surprisingly it can't get a response from Verizon.
Effectively this means I can't use this functionality. Is there any workaround to make hotpot and I haven't tried but I assume tethering too work?
Hello slerner. Hope your trip is going well so far! With regards to using the hotspot feature off of your phone, it does work off of your Verizon Wireless service account and features. If you are using a non-Verizon Wireless SIM, it is not utilizing or working off of your account, so that feature will not be available. Sorry about that.
