How to Enable Hotspot with Beam

I have an AT&T Beam (USM Modem) with WiFi and Hotspot features. When I click enable Hotspot the pop-up tells me I need to upgrade to the 5GB Mobile Data Plan, but I already have the 15/GB plan. How do I enable my Hot Spot? I just need to register my silly Kindle with it, that only works via WiFi, I don't need extra data 🙂

Hello @krypterro,

 

We can definitely provide you with some more information about how to enable your hotspot. The AT&T Beam is compatible with multiple data plans. A qualifying DataConnect, Mobile Share, Mobile Share Value, or Mobile Share AdvantageSM plan is required. For further assistance, please let us know what data plan you currently have with AT&T. You can also Learn how to connect your device to the AT&T network here. Let us know if this helps.

That link is just the support site for the device, which I have already reviewed. It doesn't mention why AT&T is saying I have to buy the 5/GB Plan, when I already have the 15/GB plan. Please advise.
