How do i start a personal hotspot

The button comes up but i cant figure how to do it. Its weird

Yes, but you have to first purchase this service from your carrier.  As stated in the note at the end of step 2 in this article, "If you see Set Up Personal Hotspot, your wireless plan is not configured for this feature. Contact your wireless carrier for assistance".

  • How do i start using personal hotspots

    I am 64 years old and not a techie. So be patient with me. I would like to set up the personal hotspot on iphone 4s. I have no clue how to go about using it once i set it up! Is there anyone out there that could guide me through the process?

    Have you set it up already? If not, you would need to give a call to your cellular carrier. If you have, what other devices would you be connecting to it?

    How can I set up personal hotspot on iPad 3, I use 3G services from Etisalat  SIM

    If your carrier supports the personal hotspot on the iPad (and some carriers only support it on the iPhone) then it should appear in Settings > General > Cellular Data > Personal Hotspot - if it doesn't appear then contact your carrier in case they don't support it or it might be an extra fee/subscription with them

    I'm not sure what you are asking here. As you were told earlier, Personal Hotspot allows you to share the cellular internet from the phone to other devices. You can share that via wi-fi, however you report that the wi-fi on the laptop is not functional. You can share the Personal Hotspot via USB to the laptop. You cannot get your internet connection from your wi-fi router and share it via the iPhone. As mentioned earlier, connect the laptop to the router via Ethernet. Not ideal, but then you do not have a functioning wi-fi on the laptop, so you have to take what you can get.

    Has anyone faced a problem like this!!!

    No. If you go Settings App > General > Reset > "Erase All Content and Settings", you will have the same iOS that was on the iPhone when you tapped the Erase button. If you believe your iPhone is Jailbroken, then this will not work. If you use iTunes on computer, this will put iPhone to current iOS which is iOS 7.0.2

    The iOS5 upgrade for the iphone allowed network operators to control the availability of the 'personal hotspot' feature. If your operator is one of those who charge extra for tethering (and most do) then by upgrading to ios5 you've facilitated them to remove the option for you.
    Apple bowed to the demands of the opertators on this one.
    I am with Tesco(O2) and as soon as I upgraded to ios5 I lost the 'personal hotspot' option.
    I have the last laugh though; They cant control my Android phone so I put the Tesco mobile sim into that when I want to use tethering.
    Get an Android phone or if you're in the UK use Three mobile who allow tethering.

  • Hi I want to know how can I activate my personal hotspot?

    Hi I want to know how can I activate my personal hotspot?

    Contact your carrier and ask to have that feature provisioned on your account (at an extra monthly fee, of course).  Whether or not you actually have hotspot enabled is a carrier service feature.  Once your account supports it, you can use it on the phone.

  • How do I enable my personal hotspot

    how do I enable my personal hotspot on th iphone?

    Once enabled, you'll be able to use it in three ways: via Wi-Fi, via Bluetooth or via the USB cable. Fastest and most reliable is the cable, and that will charge the phone as well. If using the Wi-Fi alternative, the phone behaves like a secured access point: the screen will tell you the default password to use or let you type one.

  • How can i get my personal hotspot working on my iphone 5?

    i want to activate personal hotspot on my iphone 5, but personal hotspot on my iphone is not highlighted, making it impossible for me to turn it on. I am based in Nigeria, but when my iphone was brought, it came with AT&T sim card. Now i am using MTN Nigeria Sim card.  Why can't i work with personal hotspot?

    You have to enable that hotspot "feature" with your mobile carrier in Nigeria.

  • How do I get my personal hotspot to work

    pplease help need this to work ASAP

    Personal Hotspot is dependent on the carrier. You need to make sure your carrier supports Personal Hotspot and that your account is provisioned for it. Then go into Settings and you can activate it. See this for troubleshooting Personal Hotspot if you can already see it in settings. iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot

  • HT4623 How do I get my personal hotspot back

    Since updating my phone I have lost my personal hotspot tab?

    I figured out the issue. Turn off FaceTime over cellular, restart the iPhone and the tethering works.  Somehow turning on FaceTime over cellular breaks tethering.
