    You can EASILY get around that…buy an unlocked phone off swappa and the hotspot works perfectly on Verizon. I’ve been doing this for years

      Hmm interesting! My Samsung S24 is factory unlocked but when I try to activate the mobile tethering feature it says “Please wait while verifying” and then “your plan doesn’t support mobile tethering.”

        I’m not sure…all I know is when I buy a device that’s unlocked from swappa…wait a minute, is the S24 model you have Verizon exclusive? I had an S10 5G that was Verizon specific that didn’t work, but … unlocked on swappa always work and I have the same problem as you. Other workaround is Pixel with Graphene OS.
