    T-mobile home internet.

    make sure your primary residence is inside their range, if so, go in and just say its for your house.

    then take it everywhere you go.

    $50 a month for unlimited 5G connection.

    when millionaire and billionaires are cheating the system every waking second, there is no reason we cant.

    I have never had an issue with them "tracing" your location like some people say, its gone with me all over the country and never let me down, T-mobile gets paid, they dont care.

    Tethering use to be option back kinda before Hotspot was stands or a way to get around hotspot limits. You had downloaded an app and plug a cable into cell phone from what I remember. It would trick phone to cellular data. I can’t believe anyone still doing this today but maybe they do.

    I don’t think their are many options other then paying for a plan that offers what you want. You could try the home internet like T-Mobile has. They were claiming they were going to geo lock the gateway to your home address because so many people were moving them around but they never seemed to acct on it.

    I do everything on cell phone today and it has unlimited data. Unless you have PlayStation or something. You might not have time to sit and stream lots of data

    One more question if I get an eSIM on my current phone and I switched phone, can I still transfer my current eSIM or do I need to get another one for the new phone?

    You can move your eSIM from one phone to another, as far as I know.

    If you can't move your current e-SIM from current phone to next phone, the provider will give you a new eSIM with your current number if you are with the same provider. If you are switching providers don't cancel your current provider until you have notice from your new provider that they are complete with what is called "porting your phone number".

    I use my Verizon service on my cell phone, too. Don't have to carry anything extra, just click a button on the phone screen to turn on mobile hotspot and away I go on the internet. I just don't always use it. Sometimes it feels like a pain to grab the laptop, take it out, put it back after using it, etc. But no issues using my phone with the hotspot they provide with the plan, plus the "perk" of an extra 100GB of hotspot data per month for $10. I never ever have used enough to end up being throttled.
