# Are Phone Hotspot Services Included With RedPocket Plans?

**Table of Contents**

 

**Are phone hotspot services included with RedPocket plans**

Yes, phone hotspot or tethering — using your phone as a WiFi hotspot — is a supported feature on our Premium plan! Enjoy **10GB of fast hotspot data** on our **$30 Premium** plan. 

**Note:** As of November 2025, RedPocket plans purchased through eBay use a shared hotspot bucket. This means, hotspot usage draws from your plan's overall high-speed data allowance. 

Hotspot service is supported on [all networks](https://help.redpocket.com/what-networks-does-red-pocket-mobile-offer?hsLang=en): GSMA, GSMT, and CDMA. 

Add more hotspot data to your account as needed. Learn how by reading our [Add more minutes, text messages, and high-speed data](https://help.redpocket.com/add-more-minutes-text-messages-high-speed-data?hsLang=en) article.
