I want to block or possible delete the personal hotspot feature from an iPhone 5

I Have an iphone 5 on a verizon network plan in which I would like to block/ possibly delete the personal hotspot feature. I have a person on my family plan that is eating up all the data using personal hotspot to get internet on an iPad. I still want this person to have access to 4G for gps/emailing purposes, I just don't need him eating up all the data using the personal hotspot feature. So, does anybody know how to block it or restrict the use of it? I've already tried looking on the iphone itself, but no luck. Looked on Verizon website, no such thing either. Any help is appreciated!!

Call Verizon and ask them to block the feature as sberman suggests. You can't access all features from the website. Some of them require that you talk to a rep.

Can i get personal hotspot for ipod touch

can i get personal hotspot on ipod touch

Just what do you mean?
The iPiod does not have a cellular radio so it can only connect to the internet via wifi.
The iPod will connect to a phone that can create a wifi hotspot nor to a device like this

HT204023 how to configure personal hotspot in ipad2

Able to connect ipad 2 to iphone 4s personal hotspot via bluetooth or wifi, but no internet access when connected via wifi.

I am able to connect my ipad 2 to an iphone 4s personal hotspot via bluetooth or wifi. The problem is that I only have internet access with a bluetooth connection. Both are running ios 6.1.2 and I have tried to reset both to factory settings. Any suggestions would be reatly appreciated.

Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?

I don't believe that is a feature available on a BB but you should contact your carrier to confirm.

Cannot get personal hotspot to work

I get this message (see image) when i try to connect to my personal hotspot.
Anyone knows what could be the problem?
I tried on an older mac and tried to connect it through regular hotspot, which worked fine, but my laptop only shows the hotspot as a personal hotspot and not as a regular wifi connection so its not even possible to try it that way.

Hi martin131086,
If you are having an issue with one computer being unable to connect to your iPhone's Personal Hotspot, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Difficult to get personal hotspot working, need 10 retries!

The hotspot creation from OSX was the main reason I upgraded to Yosemite. But for some reason, on my system. It would not always work. When I click on it from OSX's wifi menu, it will attempt to connect (with the rings flashing) but it then it would error out. To get it to work, I usually have to keep hitting over 10 times, and eventually it might work. How do I fix this?

Turn off you Wifi everywhere and try the following:
I found a solution to USB tethering problems since recent firmware upgrades and share that here in case anyone else is having the same issue:
Since the introduction of the firmware update 4.3.2 or somewhere thereabouts, and personal hotspot implementation, "Tether using USB" has disappeared from the menu.
Semantically, where they've put it makes no sense (except financially, from forcing frustrated former users of USB tethering to use the wifi personal hotspot, forget, and rack up data charges with their carriers) - USB tethering is hiding under "Personal Hotspot" and the listed instructions don't work unless certain conditions are met. The iPhone shows up as a digital camera only under My Computer in Windows 7 until I follow the list below.
Here's how I got it to work today. There may be better ways and you may not need to take all steps but if you're like me you just want to get it working and carry on.
Solution: (assuming your iPhone is plugged in via USB, and Personal Hotspot is OFF (under Network | Personal Hotspot, and you're not connected to the Internet any other way....
0.     Close iTunes if it's open
1.    Turn Wifi off on your laptop
2.     Turn Wifi off on your iPhone
3.     Go into the Network | Personal Hotspot menu and turn P.H. on.
4.     I get a dialog querying whether I want to turn Wifi on, or to use USB or Bluetooth. Choose the second option
5.     Wait a little bit and it should find the device correctly and connect you to the internet. Verify with a web page.
Feel free to update or eliminate the list above and the assumptions but there you go, it works.

Couldn't get personal hotspot to work

I tried the personal hotspot tonight for the first time (it is supported on my carrier - AU in Japan) but I couldn't get it to work.
The restaurant I was in had wifi that my iPhone automatically connected to. I think that was one issue. For the personal hotspot to work, doe the iPhone need to be connected to the Internet over LTE or 3G?
My personal computer could not connect to that same restaurant wifi because it was a member's only wifi for AU cell phone users.
If I turned off wifi to force my iPhone to be connected via LTE but then I got a message saying wifi needed to be turned on to use the personal hotspot feature.
So I turned wifi on again, but my iPhone's wifi did not appear in the personal computer's list of networks to connect to.
Anyway... how would one get this to work? I think I wanted my iPhone connected via LTE, wifi on but NOT connecting to that AU wifi. Is that right? I didn't see how to get the iPhone to NOT connect to the wifi if wifi was on.
Thanks,
doug

The problem was that the network settings needed to be reset. After that it worked properly which is like this:
When I entered the restaurant (or at home) the iPhone 5 connected to the known wifi network. That's fine.
When I turn on personal hotspot, the wifi mark disappears and you see the carrier name and connectivity in its place. In my case it said "KDDI LTE".
At this time the wifi network name appears just fine in the personal computer's list of hotspots and you can select it, enter the password and connect.
When you turn off the hotspot, if you were connected to wifi then the wifi mark re-appears.
Anyway, I just tried it from home. I did a speedtest on my iMac tethered by wifi to my iPhone 5's personal hotspot. Not too bad - download 7.23 Mbps and upload 6.70 Mbps.

HT203302 How to get Personal Hotspot working consistently?

Hi All,
I have an iPhone 5s 16gb and an iPad Air 32gb (non cellular).
I'm having issues with the personal hotspot working/not working intermittently. It never connects first time, even though wireless,Bluetooth and hotspot are all turned on, I have to toggle them off then on again for my iPad to pick up my iPhone.
Even then my iPhone says I have one device connected but iPad doesn't show as connected and wont work, again toggling on and off seems to rectify this and it will connect after a couple more attempts.
If I leave my iPad for a couple of minutes and it sleeps the connection is lost again and I have to go through the rigmarole of toggling everything on and off again to get it reconnected.
I was led to believe that with IOS8 the personal hotspot experience was supposed to be a lot easier, it certainly doesn't appear that way at the moment............if anything it's worse. You would have thought that this would have been a piece of functionality that should work flawlessly but Apple appear to have dropped the ball on this one.
Wondered if anyone else is having similar issues? Maybe I have missed a setting somewhere that I don't know about but if anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks, Andy.

Does your cellular provider offer a tethering plan (required for Hotspot)
Have you subscribed to a tethering plan?

Can I get personal hotspot on my ipad 2

HOw do I get a personal hotspot on my ipad 2 so I can use my 3G SIM card on other devices

You can't, on iPads it's currently only supported on the 3rd gen onwards.

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.
