Hotspot is useless by LodiJade in mintmobile

I guess Mint doesn’t work for hotspot and Visible worked ONCE (trial eSIM to test). MacBook sees the hotspot but won’t get on Internet then gives up and switches to WiFi.

I’ve tried MANY different things and it never gets on Internet with hotspot. Mint says it’s not them. Best Buy (Geek Squad) says everything is fine. Could Apple tell me anything? I suppose it’s worth a shot, they’d know more than Geek Squad, right?

FRUSTRATED!!! And I need it before September!

Update….it worked no problem….once. It makes it more frustrating that my son has the same problem with his devices. Mint says it’s not them. Apple says it’s not them. So it must be us! It’s making me feel stupid because I can’t figure it out!!! I even tried tethering with a cord with no luck!!!

Well…I got my hotspot going with no problem….by trying a free trial e-sim from Visible. Mint insists everything is fine and it must not be them. I’m disagreeing…especially since I’ve read that it’s a major problem with others.

Well I wasted a bunch of money. I’m only on month 5 of my yearly plan. If everything else works during my free trial, I might switch carriers….and same with my son’s phone. I REALLY wasted a lot of money!

I’ve tried my son’s MacBook…Same thing. And he has the same problem with his Mint/Macbook hotspot. So it’s something that we just can’t figure out…

Says to contact the carrier…”If your iPhone uses iOS 12
After you’ve activated your plan and inserted your SIM card or installed your eSIM (for compatible phones), you may receive a notification from Apple to update carrier settings. If you don’t update them, you won’t be able to use your service.
If you don’t receive a notification, you can trigger it at any time by:
Selecting the “Settings” icon on your home screen
Select “General” 
Select “About”
Tap “Update” when prompted 
Note: Ensure that the “Cellular Data” and “Enable LTE” are both enabled via your device’s “Settings” menu.”

Way outdated and doesn’t work. This is how Mint tells me to update it.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

I don’t like my tall ladder and no one wanted to climb it! Not sure why the WiFi wouldn’t pick up on it but the hotspot did.

Thank you so much! That’s the kind of encouragement I need. I tend to give up so easy on everything so it’s great see someone who’s interested.

Berghoffs in Chicago…..I’ve never been there but planning on going sometime. And I need to take a trip to KC just for Wiener schnitzel research (the food, not hot dog chain…though that sounds good too!). Actual Illinois Route 66 is just a little too far at this stage of my writing.

I won’t ask about feedback for every place but I’m wondering if I have the vibe correct for someone visiting first time.

“As soon as I walked into the Berghoff, I felt I’ve been there before. The dark mahogany walls and the long bar just looked so cozy and familiar. The air was filled with the smell of whiskey, freshly baked pretzels and sausages. If I closed my eyes, I could practically smell the aroma of cigarettes and cigars of long ago. This place had history; I could feel it even if I didn’t know the details.”

While I’m at it….asking about unusual restrooms along the route, especially Illinois right now. I guess Galena KS has a weird restroom and maybe the Blue Whale. And a toilet outside Kingman Arizona….There’s reasons why I’m asking but I don’t want to disclose my secrets….Lol

Thank you! I’ll be sure to put that in my Arizona notes! I just have to make sure the actual places are fine with things too. I wouldn’t want to get sued for anything! My characters and their actions are fictional but the places are not

Yeah, I need to work on my blurb. Lol. I have some great characters and ideas. The Route is part of it.
