Not American, but funny enough from what I’ve seen, apparently it’s a thing. For my service it’s usually been assumed with no extra fees. But I bought an ESim for Europe and I did notice that while shopping around, probably 1/5 companies had mentioned something about no hotspot/tethering allowed without paying an extra fee.

Where I’m from our Teleco plans are truly shit but I guess we have that over the Americans.

I’m hoping maybe I could get a little confidence back in commenting on things. 10 yrs or more on Reddit and it always felt like it’s either a drop in an echo chamber or immediately rude responses.
