I'm using iphone4 5.0.1 in melbourne(Optus). The personal hotspot cannot work?

What can I do?

According to this list, Optus supports the Personal Hotspot feature. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
Do you pay for a tethering plan? Generally speaking, the carrier must support it. It will be enabled when you add tethering to your plan. Your account must be provisioned specifically for an iPhone.

  • Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet.  We also use Juniper NCP client to access our system remote.  A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers on our network.  This works on iPhone 4.

    Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet.  We also use Juniper NCP client to access our local system from a remote location.  A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers in our network.  This same functionality works using my colleagues iPhone 4.
    Both phones are running iOS 6.1.3.  I tried to reset network settings, but still unable to ping servers in our network.  This is a feature that our sales team relies heavily on when out of the office.  Hoping someone has some suggestions on what is different between the 2 phones.

    Hi,
    Generally, this issue should be related with something called split tunneling, since you’re using a F5 vpn client, you need to look for something related to split tunneling in the F5 VPN client's documentations.
    Here is an example, share it with you as a reference.

  • Iphone4 ios 7.1 personal hotspot not working

    How to do my iphone4 ios 7.1 personal hotspot not active

    I have a similar problem with the hotspot on my iPhone 4 after updating to iOS7.1 and the trouble shooting doesnt help.
    Initially after updating my iphone 4 to iOS7.1 I could turn on the "personal hotspot" and it appeared to work but if a computer joined the network it could not connect to the internet.
    yesterday however I removed and reinserted the sim card (to check the balance on another sim card) and now the personal hotspot does not work at all.
    When I try to enter the APN details for my cellular provider it disappears when I exit the "Cellular Data Network" page and the "Personal Hotspot" tab shows busy for a while then becomes "Set Up Personal Hotspot" which if pressed tells me to contact the carrier.
    Is something wrong with the new iOS or is this a carrier problem - I never had a problem before installing iOS7 and the carrier information works perfectly on my friends iphone 4s on iOS7 - or is this something I need to take up with the carrier.  There doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the APN address on other devices (or before the update) and there is no problem with the internet connection on the phone.
    thanks for your help

  • TS3999 When using iCloud Calendar, I am unable to change the color of my work calendar. I have successfully followed the instructions to reset the colors of other calendars as desired. However, this one calendar always defaults to purple.  Help!

    When using iCloud Calendar, I am unable to change the color of my work calendar. I have successfully followed the instructions to reset the colors of other calendars as desired. However, this one calendar always defaults to purple.  Help!

    File>New Calendar to create a new calendar (Groups are for grouping calendars and I should ignore them). When you've created the calendar, control-click on it in the sidebar and choose 'Get Info' There you can select a colour. You can have as many calendars as you like. When you create a new event you can select the calendar it belongs to, and hence the colour it has.

  • Hello, I am trying to upgrade to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error. Resizing the partition does not work, I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot

    Hello, I am trying to upgrade my macbook pro to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error.
    Resizing the partition does not work for me and I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot and the disk manager is lost.
    Anyway to tell the yosemite installer that it should not pay attention whether the disk is bootable or not ?
    If I am doomed, any way to delete the installer and downloaded OS from my hard drive ?
    Thanks for your help

    As usual, the Linux installer wrecked the partition table. You would have to boot from your OS X installation disc and repartition. Doing so will of course remove all data from the drive, so you must back up first if you haven't already done so.

  • Just bought my white iphone4 and after syncing with my computer the speaker doesn't work now. I tried reset and even restore and still does not work. Do I have to exchange?

    Just bought my white iphone4 and after syncing with my computer the speaker doesn't work now. I tried reset and even restore and still does not work. Do I have to exchange?

    Make sure the silent switch is not set to mute.  If you can see the red dot, it is on mute.
    It may think you have headphones plugged in, try plugging and unplugging a wired headset a few time.
    The next step would be to restore as new.
    If none of that works, a warranty exchange would be the resolution.    

  • Is it possible to use the personal hotspot on my phone while in airplane mode?

    I have the Personal Hotspot on my phone and was wondering if while in the air (when my phone is on Airplane Mode) I could use it for wifi for my MacBook Pro.
    Thanks!
    -AS

    To simplify Personal Hotspot, the phone needs data coming in (via cellular) to push it out (via wifi) to your MBP.  As wjosten said, with Airplane Mode on, all radios are off so no cellular or wifi functions will work.

  • Rogers is saying that IOS4 won't allow use of the personal hotspot with a plan of less than 1GB data.  I say it's a policy of theirs, not an iOS restriction.  Anyone know the truth?

    I call BS but the tech guy was insistent that the iPhone can detect what plan I have and won't enable the feature and there's nothing they can do about it, short of selling me a larger data plan...

    If a person killed someone and blamed it on a heart attack, the person is stil dead, does it matter? Either way they're dead, right...  (extreme, I know, but illustrating a point)
    Wow.
    It is certainly Rogers policy and is not unusual at all among carriers.
    Seems like a non-issue to me, but apparently being "lied to" ( perhaps the employee was simply mistaken, it happens) is a major deal to you.

  • 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.

  • TS2756 Using the personal hotspot

    I just got an iPhone 5 and want to disconnect internet service since I can use the personal hotspot.  My friend's laptop will connect, but mine won't unless I use the USB connection.  Any thoughts?

    Hey rjnelson,
    I see you came from the iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot, which is applicable to the issue you describe. If you haven't already, I would run through the steps within that article, specifically the following:
    Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Install the latest version of iOS. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.

    Have a great day,

  • HT204023 I am not able to use the personal hotspot in the new ipad 4g version. Please help me out in this case

    I am not able to use the personal hot spot in the ipad 3 the new one .

    It should be in Settings > General > Network > Personal Hotspot - if it's not there then have you checked with your carrier to see if they support it on the iPad (and even if they support it on the iPhone they don't necessarily also support it on the iPad) ? It may also be an extra fee/subscription from them, and you could check if there is a carrier update.
