Who is ho mobile?
2018 was the summer of the battle of the telephone operators.
The arrival of Iliad in the Italian market has set in motion a series of reactions that have changed the structure of the mobile telephony market. The numbers of the transalpine manager are important, but ho mobile has also gathered many new customers.
For those who don't know yet, ho mobile is a virtual mobile phone manager owned by Vodafone, created precisely to respond to the Iliad offensive.
Actually, Kena mobile is also part of this match. The latter is also a virtual manager born to counter Iliad, Kena mobile is owned by TIM.
In short, in the summer of 2018 there were some good ones and fortunately for the benefit of consumers. In fact, the offers of the new operators are particularly convenient and this has moved important segments of customers who have left the old operator to switch to a cheaper plan with more minutes, SMS and gigabytes.

Setting up the mobile hotspot on a dual SIM phone
If your smartphone is a dual SIM, you probably haven't solved the problem yet. If so, try the settings below:
For all the configurations that I have shown you and in general every time a new APN is created, it is then necessary to activate it.
Usually it is done in the previous screen, where there are all the APNs created, by checking or activating the option in correspondence with the name of the APN.
By setting the APN correctly, the hotspot works very well and allows you to share the gigabytes of the ho mobile offer, the Vodafone home manager, which boasts a superior territorial coverage compared to other operators.
