Need data? Turning your device into a mobile hotspot is the perfect way to share your internet connection with other devices (your own, or others), and you can absolutely set up a hotspot with your aloSIM data.

Just remember that it's a good idea to keep your hotspot password-protected, otherwise anyone can latch onto it and drain your data without your permission.
