Does Consumer Cellular include a hot spot?
I’m in the process of retiring… seems like it would be easier to keep working! AARP made me aware of Consumer Cellular and it to seems like a good deal. We need AT&T towers because it’s all that work...

I think hotspots are specific to the brand/model of phone. My Samsung A01, purchased from CC a couple months ago as a replacement for an older Sony phone, does have the hotspot feature.
My previous phone was a Sony, provided by me (CC didn't offer Sonys). Buying a phone elsewhere is an option so long as it's ATT compatible, but it does take a little extra to set up the phone properly (CC sets up ahead of time the phones they sell and ship). I couldn't figure out how to make my Sony work until I wrote to CC and they sent me instructions on what I had to change or enter at certain key places.
