HT204023 I don't see personal hotspot on my iPhone 5?

I Would like to tether my iPhone with my laptop but I am not seeing personal hotspot in cellular network.

In iOS 6 go to Settings > Personal Hotspot. It should be the fourth item down from the top in Settings.
Personal Hotot has to be supported by your carrier. If it is not there will be no personal hotspot to turn on. In that case contact your cellular carrier.

  • HT204023 Can you use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with an iPad 4th generation ?

    Can I use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with the iPad 4th generation which only has wifi ?
    Thank you in advance for your help :)

    Unlimited Internet is different than the carrier supporting the hotspot feature. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad with cellular. My limited knowledge about the hotspot is from reading support articles about it and from what I have read here in the forum.
    I don't know that circumstances with the carriers have changed, but initially, the was an extra cost to enable the hotspot feature on the iDevice. I believe that Verizon was charging an additional $20 per month for the feature. Check out the support article that I posted above.
    This is copied from that article that I posted above.
    Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

  • HT204023 i cant find the personal hotspot on my iphone

    i cant find the personal hotspot on my iphone

    Fine, I understand that this is not an Apple-run or -sponsored site. But if you read through this and related discussions you are bound to find that the rollback of functional capabilities through the last 8-9 months of IPhone development has bewildered users. Perhaps the main reason personal hotspot is interesting is that it crops up in discussions about the sudden death of serious Bluetooth capability - unannounced and unacknowledged. It seems that some users have succeeded in getting some measure of the suddenly missing functionality back by fiddling with PH. Others do not find that option and remain unaided by serious information from Apple.
    Given that situation, and I think it has lots of parallels in other areas of IPhonery, it would have been natural for Apple to take an interest and say something, if not in this Forum, why not more publicly. The failure to do so is what I criticize, in particular because it seems calculated. And to feel that you, as a consumer, are being taken for a ride makes you feel like a mug, a poor, helpless moron, ready to be conned. That is not a feeling that breeds loyalty and contentment. Several of the contributions to the Forums express that feeling with less restraint than I have done.
    To boot, when I have spoken to Apple support personnel they are so completely unaware of the issues that they cannot possibly be meant to assist us punters in understanding what goes on. Now, isn't that precisely what a great con is about?

    You may need to check with your cellular carrier to see if it is supported. See the quotation below from iOS: Understanding Personal Hotspot
    Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

  • HT204023 Can I use the personal hotspot on my iphone 4 to gain internet access on my Nexus 7?  Do I need a tether cable?

    I have an iPhone 4 with ios 6 with hotspot capability.  Can I use this hotspot to gain internet access for my Nexus 7?  And if so, does it require a tether cable or can I access via bluetooth?  Was given the Nexus as a gift, would not have been my choice because of wi fi access capability restrictions.   I am very technically challenged.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • HT204023 I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

    Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.

  • Personal hotspot on my iphone 5s doesnt work. my laptop can see it and it seems to make initial contact but then it seems to give up and gives a failure message.

    Personal hotspot on my iphone 5s operating ios7.1.2 doesnt work. my work laptop can see it and the phone initially registers contact but then it seems to give up and the connection always fails. i have tried resetting settings, switching hotspot on/off, switching 4g on off and nothing seems to work. it worked fine on the same service plan with EE on my old 4s. can anyone help?

    Dear brothers
    Thanking you so much to be interested about my answer but what I figured out is as long as you bought your iPhone from gulf or Arabian area it will not has face time application cause I think apple has made special software for Arabian areana to privent facetime according to special request by phone cells companies and one of my friends has told me if you want to make sure that your iPhone not for Arabian areana you should check the model number on your iPhone backside if it ends with 29 it means it's for Arabian countries if other numbers it's gonna be for US. Or Hongkong so it's ok
    That's all I could know if you have another solution just please let me know
    Thanks for all answers

    In settings, I cannot see personal hotspot, is blocked by my carrier? I have iPhone 4 with ver  4.3.5
    How can activate this function?

    Your carrier has to support it and you generally have to pay for a tethering plan. Here is a list of supported carriers, noting which ones support Personal Hotspot: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937

  • Why do I drop my personal hotspot from my iphone to ipad whenever my ipad goes to sleep?

    OK, so I have the new ipad wifi only. Whenever there isn't a wifi signal around, I turn on my Personal hotspot from my iphone and sync internet via Bluetooth. First, the process to recognize pairing always seems to be sporadic. It takes a long time for my ipad to see my iphone's attempt to establish pairing. Most of the time I have to turn both Bluetooth's settings off and then on to establish pairing. Then, once I do gain a connection, if my ipad goes into Auto-Lock after 2 minutes of inactivity, my pairing is lost and I have to start the proess all over again. It's very annoying. Any suggestions would be great appreciated.

  • What happened to my personal hotspot on my iPhone 4 with 6.01 OS?  How do I get it back?

    What happened to my Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 4 6.01 OS?  It has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    No joy, then talk to your carrier about tethering.

  • Why missing personal hotspot  in my iphone 4s after upgrade ios 7 ?

    why missing personal hotspot  in my iphone 4s after upgrade ios 7 ?

    I'm having the same issue (iOS 7.0.3 on 5s).
    Had Sprint add Wi-Fi Hot Spot to my account today, went to set it up, and there's nothing in Settings for "Personal Hot Spot." Apparently it should appear underneath "Cellular" but it's just not there.
    Resetting network settings didn't help. And Sprint doesn't know why it's not there either.
