Hotspot on secondary cellular plan

I have an unlocked XS Max using an esim with My Att service as my primary cellular service and a physical SIM card for my googleFi service as my secondary business line. I have hotspot service on my googleFi line but not my att line.

If I set my default cellular data to my primary att line, I’m not able to turn on my googleFi hotspot. If I change my cellular data default to my googleFi line, I have the hotspot option.

i don’t want to set my default cellular data to my googleFi line since it is company issued. Is it possible to turn on my hotspot for a secondary line?

Hotspot is carrier specific feature based on Cellular Data made available to you by the Carrier.

Change your cellular data number

One number at a time can use cellular data. To change which number uses cellular data, follow these steps:

Go to Settings.
Tap either Cellular or Mobile Data.
Tap Cellular Data.
Tap the number you want to use cellular data.

If you turn on Allow Cellular Data Switching, then while you're on a voice call on your voice-only number, that number automatically switches to use voice and data.* This lets you use both voice and data while on the call.

If you turn off Allow Cellular Data Switching and you're active on a voice number that isn't your designated cellular-data number, then cellular data won't work while you're on the call.

To turn on Allow Cellular Data Switching, follow these steps:

Go to Settings.
Tap either Cellular or Mobile Data.
Tap Cellular Data.
Turn on Allow Cellular Data Switching.

* Your data line switches automatically for the duration of your call. This cellular-data switching will not work if you are currently using Data Roaming. Check with your carrier for availability and to find out if additional fees apply.
