HT3574 Trouble setting up a moble hot spot on my Iphone 4s.

     I seem to be having much difficulty setting up a Mobile hotspot on my IPhone 4s. I go to settings, General, Network, then click on "personal Hotspot". Unfortunately, ever time I do so, a screen pops up that says the following: "Set Up Personal Hotspot" To enable Personal Hotspot on this account, contact Version at 661 or visit http://www.verisonwireless.com/b2c/index.html" I have tried calling and visiting the website, and I am extremely confused. Please point me in the right direction, and you will be greatly appreciated.

you have to be provisioned by your carrier to use personal hotspot.  So contact verizon.

  • How do I connect my mac to t-moble hot spot on my android

    how do I connect my mac to t-moble hot spot on my android

    Hi bubbamartin,
    As an iPhone user I'm not too familiar with Android, however I have had a browse and came across a great article which explains in detail How to Use Your Android Phone as a Portable WiFi Hotspot
    Turn on the Portable WiFi Hotspot:
    Go to the Settings screen on your Android phone. You can get there by pressing the menu button on your device when you're on the home screen, then tapping "Settings".
    At the Settings screen, tap the "Wireless & networks" option.
    You should see an option for "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot". Click the check mark beside it to turn on the hotspot and your phone will start acting like a wireless access point. (You should see a message in the notification bar when it's activated.)
    To adjust and check the settings for the hotspot, tap the aptly named "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings" option. You'll need to do this if you don't know the default password that will be created for your hotspot so you can make a note of it for connecting your other devices.
    You can change the default password, security level, router name (SSID), and also manage users connected wirelessly to your phone in the Wi-Fi hotspot settings.
    Now your Hotspot is set up, go to your Macs Wireless Settings, you should be able to see your Android device listen in the available networks. Enter the password which you can edit in the 'Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings' to connect and you're all set!
    Tips and Considerations:
    Make sure you turn off the Wi-Fi hotspot feature when you no longer need shared Internet access from the other devices, since this can drain your cell phone's battery significantly.
    By default, the portable Wi-Fi hotspot will most likely be set up with WPA2 security and a generic password. If you're using this feature in a public place or concerned about hackers trying to intercept your data, it's best to change the password to something else before broadcasting your signal.
    Keep in mind again that your cell phone company might charge extra for this feature and/or have data restrictions on its usage, so make sure you check your plan or with your carrier for more information.
    Good luck!

  • How do I set up a wifi hot spot in my house just for me?

    How do I set up a wifi hot spot in my house just for me?

    You can't use the wifi card to do both connect to a wifi network and then use the wifi card as a wifi hotspot. You'll need to connect the mac by ethernet and then you can set the wifi card as a hotspot.

  • TS1398 my Ipad 2 will work on wi-fi when I set up a hot spot on my iPhone but not the wireless in my house.  My iPhone, my wife's iPhone and iPad all work on the home wi-fi.  Just not my iPad.

    My iPad2 will not work on my home wi-fi.  My iPhone, my wife's iPhone and iPad all work just not my iPad.  It will however work when I set up a hot spot on my iPhone.  Any ideas?

    Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds.
    On your iPad use Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings
    If you need more help please give the make, model and version of the WiFi router that you are using.
    Does your router have the latest firmware from the manufacturer installed?
    What IOS levels are in use on your various iDevices?

  • How do I set a PNG cursor hot spot?

    I am trying to set the hot spot for a PNG cursor in a CS6 plugin (Windows) I have searched for a solution but I can't find one. So far I am able to set the cursor using sAIUser->SetCursor() but I don't know how to set its hot spot. Can anyone provide an example of how to set the hot spot of a PNG cursor?

    The SDK does this in the AnnotatorTool sample. It's an xml file that describes the hotspot.
    <?xml version='1.0'?>
    <prop.map version='1'>
    <prop.list>
    <prop.pair>
    <key>DVA_CursorData</key>
    <string>1.0</string>
    </prop.pair>
    <prop.pair>
    <key>kHotSpot</key>
    <array>
    <array.type><int type='signed' size='32'/></array.type>
    <int type='signed' size='32'>13</int>
    <int type='signed' size='32'>12</int>
    </array>
    </prop.pair>
    </prop.list>
    </prop.map>
    In the end, we gave up and just used platform code like Andrew did.

  • Does setting up a personal hot spot allow other people to use up your cellular data

    by setting up your own personal hot spot does it allow other people to use up you cellular data?

    Basically yes.  Personal Hotspot means you are sharing out your Cellular Data connection.
    If you give the Hotspot password to someone they will use your Cellular data to access the internet.

  • Traveling to the Bahamas and Hot Spots for my iPhone

    Can I use my phone in Nassau, Bahamas?  And what charges/plans are there or will there possibly be?
    Also, can someone explain a hot spot for me and is it free?  I notice that I have to contact Verizon to get it set up, which makes me think it isn't free. I do have internet at my home.
    Thanks!

    Hello shellshell211
    Yes your device will work in the Bahamas! Have a great trip! Here's a link that will explain the charges when you use your device in the Bahamas: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/tripplanner/tripplannercontroller
    The hotspot application allows you to use your iPhone 4 to connect up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices. It's great feature that uses your iPhone as an internet source for other devices.

  • AT&T hot spots (WiFi) and iPhones

    Supposedly ATT DSL subscribers of 3GB can get free hot spots access nationwide. What about iPhones, do you get access as well?

    Your report is correct in that this service is offered to AT&T DSL subscribers. It is not currently offered to at&t, nee Cingular, cellular subscribers, including those with iPhone plans. You're talking here about distinctly different business units.
    If you want such services, call or write at&t and express your interest.

  • Hi. How can add hot spot in my iPhone?

    The option hot spot is not available how can I add it?
    Thanks

    The option for Personal Hotspot will only appear if your carrier supports such. So, first question is: Does your carrier support Personal Hotspot?

  • HT3574 How do i get ny hot spot to show in my iphone 5c settings menu

    why doesentbmy hotspot show in my iphoneb5c setting

    An iPhone 5c has a support for 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi.  Therefore, if your hotspot isn't showing up there can only be a few reasons:
    Make sure that you are in range of the hotspot (test from within the same room)
    Make sure that your hotspot settings are not hiding the network name (SSID)
    Update the firmware of your wireless router or hotspot
    Restart your iPhone and try again

  • I am having trouble setting up my Yahoo email account on my IPhone 4S.

    I continue to receive the error message of "Yahoo Server Unavailable. Please try again later". Is anyone else having this issue?

    Yes - same issue.  I am able to work my yahoo email fine on my iPad, but just bought the iPhone 4s today and cannot set it up for the same reason you state.
    I walked through the advanced sections of both iPad and iPhone and they are set up the same, so I have no idea why this is not working.
