How to turn iphone as a hotspot?

Hi there!
Does anyone here know how to turn your iPhone 4s as a hotspot for internet? It's like being a modem/router, then, other devices near it would be able to have internet access via wifi.
Thank you for the response.
Cheers,
Jenssen

The function is Mobile carrier dependent.
That is to say some carriers make a charge for activating the function and additional charges for subsequent data use.
You need to check the terms of your local carrier first.
If they support the function request setup and pay any fees applied.
You will be sent a configuration profile vis SMS to activate the function.
Clicking on the SMS powering down and restarting the device will unlock the function on your phone.
NB.If you have an unlocked iPhone or are in a few countries above may not be necessary.
Just follow to steps below
At this point tap settings/Personal Hotspot and slide the toggle switch to on
Set a Wifi Password.
You may be asked to turn on Wifi -this switches priority to transmit rather than receive
You can now share your 3G/LTE (or GPRS/Edge very slow !) with upto 5 other devices.
3 devices may connect via the Wifi link
1 no via Bluetooth
1 no via USB cable
Best avoiding Bluetooth if possible as it wrecks the battery life and is severely bottlenecked on bandwidth.

    How do I use the iphone 4S as a hotspot for my Mac Book Pro?

    2 Possibilities:
    1) Enable Tethering by Settings > General > Network > Personal Hotspot.  If you have not enabled tethering through your provider, it will tell you to
    2) Jailbreak and use MyWi or another program via Cydia without paying via provider.

  • How to turn iPhone on without power button

    My phone is not turning on ...and my power button is off...i tried to plug in to the pc it dosent work.,...please help....my power button does not work and when i plug in many charges it dosent work

    The only other way to power on an iPhone would be by plugging it in to charge. If you have tried multiple usb cables and wall adaptors and it is still not powering on then book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • How to turn iphone 3g into ipod touch w/ out sim card

    Hi,
    I would like to give my old iphone 3g to a daycare teacher who just broke her ipod on a field trip - so sad.
    I don't have the sim card in my phone anymore and when I plug it in to itunes I cannot access anything!  I just want to set it up as an ipod touch
    (sim card was removed by an online company that I tried to sell the phone to - when they offered $30 I had them mail it back but they wouldn't return my sim card)
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I do have a SIM card for my iphone 4, but they are different sizes.  I didn't try to insert the sim card for fear it might hurt it.  My carrier for both phones is At&t.  Thoughts?

  • I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
    To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
    1) Go into Settings > Store.
    2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
    3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
    4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

  • How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?

    How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?
    It works nicely over home wifi, but for example, i am sitting in my car, phone is in my pocket and I'm using the iPad, call comes in and i don't want to start digging for my phone.
    Is there any way?
    devices:
    iPad mini cellular (no SIM card at the moment)
    iPhone 5S
    Thanks!

    well yes, but it basically makes wifi for the other devices, it basically mimics wifi.
    as i get from your answer, it is not possible?
    it would be common sense to make it work this way also. directly from device to device. no bounce between WiFi router
    Then again, common sense is not that common these days...

  • Does anyone know how to turn of the pop-up iCloud log-in window on iPhone. I have no desire to use iCloud. I have turned off iCloud in settings but the pesky little critter is not deterred.

    Does anyone know how to turn off the pop-up iCloud log-in window on iPhone 5c. I have no desire to use iCloud. I have turned off iCloud in settings but that does not seem to deter the pesky little pop-up from continually asking me to log-in
    Thanks

    Pop up usually meant that icloud activation lock is still on on Apple servers. In order to deactivate you need to turn icloud back on by signing in and then sign out properly. For your sake I hope that you know the password.
