Verizon hotspot doesn't support unlocked phones

It took me over 2 hours today to find out why the hotspot on my unlocked Note 20 Ultra was not working - apparently if you bring an unlocked phone, it's not guaranteed to work with Verizon's hot spot.  The Tier 2 agent said there is nothing I can do to make my unlocked phone from AT&T work with the hotspot.  Everything else seems to work fine on the phone.  (She did suggest that I could get a separate hotspot device and subscribe to a $20/month plan)

Has anybody else encountered this or found a solution?

Has been stated many times on these forums that not all Verizon features are guaranteed to work on unlocked phones.  Not much you can do except get a verizon phone or a Hotspot device.

Thank you for your reply.  

My apologies for not first reading the Verizon forums before unlocking my phone.
