any of the a's. my 3a, 6a, and wife's 5a cannot hot spot. it's one of the downsides of the cheaper phones
What? I have a 4a (non-5g even) and it can hotspot, it's arguably cheaper than the 5a and 6a so i don't think that is the issue
never heard of this before
what are you talking about? I have a 6a and 3a, literally just used my hotspot last night to watch streaming services on my roku.
Why would they have tutorials on how to turn it on and off too? https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-302085/

maybe do 30 seconds of research before you make such a silly statement?
My wife had a 3a and it had hotspot
I bought it unlocked, not sure if it makes a difference
I've never had problems with hotspotting on all my pixels. I think this only occurs when you get the handset from the network rather than unlocked and off plan. After all only the phone knows where each packet came from.
My 6a can hotspot without issue on AT&T...
6a phone. Can hot spot.
My old 3a and my current 5a can hotspot anytime I want. You must be buying carrier locked phones.
