int Mobile offers hotspot access with all of its plans, though the exact amount of data varies from plan to plan. While most of us only use hotspot access for emergencies like when our home Wi-Fi is down, it’s still a nice extra to have. At least it is if it works as it should! If your Mint Mobile hotspot feature isn’t working at all or is performing significantly lower than you expected, odds are you have a configuration problem.

In theory, your phone should automatically configure to the correct APN settings but often times phones that aren’t designed specifically for T-Mobile’s network can give you problems, especially Android devices. This includes devices intended for the international market as well as many older US-specific devices. The good news is that in most cases all you have to do is try to change your APN settings to Mint’s latest recommendations.
