Does the straight talk Hotspot plan apply to USB Tethering?

[Anthonyj Durk]

I bought the $55 plan from straight talk and im using a Ethernet cable for my phone to share my mobile data to my router i seen some videos on youtube where you have to enable USB tethering. And am wondering does that apply to hotspot ussage?

Which phone? Are you certain your phone supports that?

It's the samsumg galaxy A10e phone yes and I'm most certain my phone supports it

It's hard to find definitive information about this on the web. I believe that in the past, Straight Talk didn't even let you use the hotspot on your phone; instead, you had to get a mobile hotspot device from Straight Talk. But recently, it sounds like they let certain devices use it as long as you have the unlimited data plan: https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/straighttalk-enables-mobile-hotspot/. However, I can't find anything about USB tethering and if that counts. There's no mention of it in the Terms and Conditions on Straight Talk's site. It might be easiest to contact Straight Talk support directly.

I just talked with straight talk and they said they only support Wifi hotspot ussage not USB or Bluetooth

Ok, good to know!

So I think I can use USB tethering and Bluetooth Tethering without a limit

It sounds more like they don't allow you to USB tether at all, but you can try.
