Yeah, G05 owners have reported hot spot problems, which sounds like it has a lot to do with AT&T. Hopefully fixed soon.

Sounds like you identified the first early glitch for the G07. Interested in what else you guys are seeing.

ATT Hotspot

Newbie to the forum and BMW (Ex Audi Q7 user)......just bought my 2019 X7 last Friday and I was checking on that Hotspot Feature today. When connecting to the Hotspot of the X7 using my smartphone, it took me to ATT Trial signup page where I registered and then it started to work.

Don't know about the others but is this a "3GB or 3 Month (whichever comes first) Trial" from AT&T? It seems that it will soon finish.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

That's all they give you. My kids used it up with 2 iPads within a few days. I signed up for unlimited plan for $20 /mth. Not sure if that helps

Wow! That definitely is not enough. Audi gave me 6 Months of unlimited trial access. Some users on Audi ere able to swap the SIM card and used a T Mobile SIM card for a cheaper Hotspot. Don't know if this is the case with BMW.

LOL. Ouch. Sounds about right--kids can suck up wifi, when there's a low cap. If you add up all of the subscriptions possible in the X7 after the multiple trials expire, it becomes enormous.
