Try looking at visible.com and their "party plan".
Just dont plan on connecting anything else to it. Visible does not state this in their material or website, but you can only connect one device at a time to their phones.
To use the Visible cellphone as a hotspot with multiple devices, you need to use a router. I use a router. My laptop connects to the router. The Firestick connects to the router. When at home, my cellphone defaults to the router. The Switch connects to the router. The printer connects to the router. Etc. The router connects to the phone which sits on a charging pad (came with the phone)
Visible no longer has the "party" plan. It's now $30/mo for the cheapest plan. The cheapest cell phone I could find to use as a hotspot was $100 (Visible Midnight).
I bought a Beryl router https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MKZXGBY/
I used a someone else's information to set up the router and phone https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jKLcBfdChCghgdHYS7ieGGhlUBfj7qFtSwHvZKb913Q/edit#heading=h.75pz4omwd9ny
I downloaded the document and opened it to edit. I saved all the settings in the document that applied to the phone that I used. This way I can set it up again if I need to. I also changed the sequence in the set up slightly (dim the phone AFTER you get it all set up otherwise you can't see the screen).
Just another option.
