When I access Visual Voicemail, my Personal Hotspot option disappears from settings.

Why does my Personal Hotspot option disappear when I access Visual Voicemail?  I need to reset network settings to get it back and then Visual Voicemail no longer works.
Also, does anyone know how I could disable Visual Voicemail and set the phone app's voicemail button to dial 901 instead? (as a workaround)

The iOS5 upgrade for the iphone allowed network operators to control the availability of the 'personal hotspot' feature. If your operator is one of those who charge extra for tethering (and most do) then by upgrading to ios5 you've facilitated them to remove the option for you.
Apple bowed to the demands of the opertators on this one.
I am with Tesco(O2) and as soon as I upgraded to ios5 I lost the 'personal hotspot' option.
I have the last laugh though; They cant control my Android phone so I put the Tesco mobile sim into that when I want to use tethering.
Get an Android phone or if you're in the UK use Three mobile who allow tethering.

    Has anyone faced a problem like this!!!

    No. If you go Settings App > General > Reset > "Erase All Content and Settings", you will have the same iOS that was on the iPhone when you tapped the Erase button. If you believe your iPhone is Jailbroken, then this will not work. If you use iTunes on computer, this will put iPhone to current iOS which is iOS 7.0.2

  • "Personal Hotspot" option DISAPPEARED yesterday after upgrading to iOS 8.1.3!

    Hello,
    yesterday I upgraded my iPad Mini (Retina) to iOS 8.1.3. Everything works pretty fine, but there is no Personal Hotspot in the Settings! I was looking in all sections, but it has simply disappeared.
    I really don't know what to do. I've been using my iPad as a hotspot for a year, almost every day. :/
    I have reset all web settings and, of course, turned off and on the iPad. Nothing's changed.

    " ... other things will show up with that name ..."
    Well, the one thing I can think of is that your iPhone will show up with "that name" on iTunes' summary tab when you sync it.  Also, if you receive any warning messages from iTunes on your computer, the messages will have that name.

  • Personal Hotspot option gone altogether after doing a carrier update

    I was using my personal Hotspot for a month or so on IOS 8.1. I enabled it in Cellular data and everything was fine until I did a carrier update a few days ago. After that the personal Hostspot option itself dissapeared, and it went from the cellular data network tab as well. Now the 'cellular data network' tab only shows APN and MMs, not Personal Hotspot. I can't find it anywhere, Help?

    Hey Kazimraza,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, Personal Hotspot is missing from settings. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Personal hotspot was varnish from my iphone 3gs

    I use a iphone 3gs with ios 6.1.3 with personal hot spot.
    since last night, the personal hotspot was varnish from settings.

    Which carrier are you with?
    Often personal hotspot may not be visible because your carrier doesn't support it or you don't have an appropriate plan for it?
    Have you updated anything at all? iOS/carrier settings?

  • Personal hotspot option not showing in IOS 8.1.2

    I was using personal Hotspot on cellular data "Mobilink" on my 4s , i recently updated to IOS 8.12 and since then this option is gone . Please help

    Hi Anas
    i am having the same issue on my iphone 6 with personal hotspot option missing with mobilink carrier in Lahore.
    This came after i installed a profile of mobilink ( network settings )
    which doesnt go away even if i try to reset the network settings.
    i cant go and delete the profiles manually.
    i have contacted mobilink network support and they have no idea what i am talking about ( even discussed it with their resolution center ) but they just gave me apples where i wanted oranges
    they said they have not disabled it neither they are charging for this option
    once i put the sim in android phone.( i can make a personal hotspot option)..
    Question is why not iphone.
    Perhaps mobilink doesnt support iphone officially thats why.
    This came after ( Mobilink offer of 3 dollars = 15 Gb ) of 3g traffic.
    when i put in the sim of zong network ( 3g and 4g ) hotspot works fine on iphone
    Apple guys ( how can i delete network profile )?
    such as a software using windows or on mac .
    I cant do it through iphone's network cellular settings the carrier settings just wont go away.
    neither
    Apple configurator seem to detect configuration profiles on ios 8 .( and officially i believe the configurator has been taken offline.)
    i don't want to factory reset my phone as it has alot of data and other things so i didnt try this option

  • With latest update, personal hotspot disappeared from Settings menu

    How do I get the Personal Hotspot back on the Settings menu?

    So this is what I did to rectify the problem. First, do a Network Reset, this resets all network settings to factory, wait for the iPhone to reboot. Then, do a Reset All Settings, you won't lose data or media, but if you have a passcode on, it will be erased, but is easily fixed when it reboots, also note your iPhone's background will be reset to the "Water on Window" background, so you will need to change that as well, but that's about it. Wait for the iPhone to reboot, then go to Settings>General>Network>Personal Hotspot, and turn it on, then immediately connect a computer to it, then afterward disconnect, and it should still show up in the settings on the iPhone, and visible to any computer with WiFi capabilities. I just had this happen to me a few minutes ago, and this fixed it. Try it.

  • Personal hotspot option missing!

    Hi,
    I have 2 serious issues with my iPhone 4S now. After updating the os to iOS 6.1.3,
    1. I discovered I can't enable the wifi option.
    2. My personal hotspot option is missing!
    What gives???
    HELP!
    Mervin

    Mervin,
    I searched the forums for this issue, because I had the same problem.  I was a little worried about no longer having access to my hotspot after the upgrade to 6.1.3. Like you, the option for the hotspot was completely missing (not just greyed out) after the update.  I am also using an iPhone 4S.
    The good news is that I found the way to fix it, at least for me.  I hope it works for you.
    Go to Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.  Just turn it on.  That should make the "Hotspot" option on the main settings page reappear for you. 
    I hope that helps. 
    Jason
