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 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".

    i'm currently using 3gs. My 'Personal Hotspot' option suddenly dissapear from my 'Settings'. How can i get my 'Personal Hotspot' option back?

    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 NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

  • How can I set up personal hotspot on iPad 3

    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 have iPhone 4 and I update it to iOS 7 and when I try to start the personal hotspot it crashed and for sometime my cellular data was also not working then allot a sudden the personal hotspot icon disappeared from my settings

    I have iPhone 4 and I update it to iOS 7 and when I try to start the personal hotspot it crashed and for sometime my cellular data was also not working then allot a sudden the personal hotspot icon disappeared from my settings.
    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

  • 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.

  • Why can't I connect my iPhone 4 to my iPad 2 using personal hotspot in iPhone 4

    I have iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and iPad 2. Since I use cellular data, sometimes I put one of my sims into iPhone 5 and use personal hotspot to serve as a router. The iPad 2 works perfectly but if I turn on the feature in iPhone 4, neither the iPhone 5 nor the iPad 2 can connect to the iPhone 4. It detects the iPhone 4 but doesn't connect to it. Is there anything I'm missing or is iPhone 4 personal hotspot is not programmed to connect to my other two devices using this feature.

    Assuming you are using OSX, connect iphone ny usb then go to system preferences. Go to network pane and scroll down to "wheel" and from the drop down select service order. If you see the iphone then drag it to the top of the list then select apply.

  • How can I start using IPad without first syncing with my computer?

    I'm out of town and just bought a new IPad2.  I don't have my computer with me and won't be able to use it for another 2 weeks.  How can I start using my IPad before syncing with my computer? 

    You must activate it by syncing it to iTunes on a computer. An Apple Store can do it for you - or anybody with a computer that meets the minimum requirements and has iTunes 10.2 on it can activate it for you.
    If you have someone else activate it, bear in mind that when you do finally sync to your computer, iTunes is going to tell you that all content will be erased because you already set it up on another computer with another iTunes library. Your iPad will sync to one iTunes library only. That is way they are designed to perform.
    You CAN transfer any purchases that you make on the iPad to your iTunes library when you perform your first sync with your own computer, however, and I would strongly suggest that you do that when you get the chance.
    If you do set it up with another computer, I would keep the purchases and downloads to a minimum so that keeping all of your data is not a big problem when you finally sync to your own PC.
