How to use the tethering (data sharing) with an iPhone/iPad to share the Ubigi connectivity?

In order to share the Ubigi cellular data connection from your iPhone or iPad with another device, please follow the instructions below:

1/ First, make sure that your iPhone/iPad is connected to the Ubigi cellular network (to do that, go to Settings/Cellular networks/Cellular networks again/select your eSIM profile).

2/ Then go to :
– Settings
– Personal hotspot (*)
– Tap the slider next to activate the option in [1]
– You will also see a Wi-Fi password appear in [2]



Once this option is activated, activate the Wi-Fi on the other device (the one you want to get connected), select your iPhone/iPad signal and enter the password displayed on your iPhone/iPad.

And voilà! The tethering is now working and you can connect several devices to share the Ubigi connectivity 🙂

(*) In case the Personal hotspot option is disabled (all grey), you will need to register the APN first in the Settings. To do that, please follow the instruction on section How to set the APN for Ubigi eSIM?
Once the APN set, go back to Settings > Mobile data > Personal hotspot to check if the option is now available:
– if it does, go further with the instructions above to set the option
– if it does not, double-check that you registered well the mbb APN and if the situation persists do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service for more help.

Ubigi was honestly one of the best travel decisions for our Japan trip. Activation was seamless, connectivity across Tokyo, Kawaguchiko, Kyoto, and Osaka stayed consistently strong, and we never had to struggle with physical SIM cards or pocket Wi-Fi devices. The eSIM connected almost instantly after landing in Japan, worked flawlessly on trains and inside stations, and made navigation, translations, ticketing, and payments stress-free throughout the trip. For anyone traveling to Japan, Ubigi is extremely convenient, reliable, and absolutely worth it for a smooth travel experience.

Easy download of my eSIM plan for my trip to Japan. It worked flawlessly when I got to Japan, especially for use in navigating, getting restaurant opinions on Yelp, and texting my wife when we got separated.
