Comment on I hate Samsung and their dumb software design choices, and this is one of them. Why do I need a SIM card to enable a hotspot whereas every other phone works without one?

That sounds like a hardware limitation more than anything. Is it normal for standard consume wifi chips to be able to receive and broadcast simultaneously on two different networks? I know that’s definitely not something you can usually do with PC hardware.

According to one of OP’s follow-up comments, he says that it works if he puts a random SIM in without service on it, so it’s not a limitation on his phone, at any rate.
