How to enable personal hotspot while using ZAIN 3g Sim in Saudi Arabia?
I have an iphone 4.
Just recently my mobily 3g Sim got exhausted. When i tried to buy a new one, i found out that mobily SIMS are not available in the market. As i have already had a bad experience with STC, i decided to try ZAIN this time.
Zain 3g speed is fine but the problem was when i started using it, the "Personal Hotspot" option was altogether missing from the iphone. I tried to search the same in various places in the iphone but could not find it.
Finally i resolved this issue. I'm posting this question just to help someone who might be facing the same issue.
I will answer it in the next post.
Need to answer from another ID.
Its very simple:
All you have to do is to go to:
Settings >> General >> Network
Switch off the "Cellular Data". Now go to "Cellular Data Network".
Go to the bottom at "Internet Tethering". Here put "zain" in APN field, (without double quotes).
Leave username and password fields blank.
Now go back to the previous screen and Switch On the "Cellular Data".
Thats it! Your Personal Hotsopt will appear within seconds.
Hope this helps. Enjoy!
- What additional cost may occur from making my iphone a personal hotspot? I turned on the personal hotspot option in settings on my iphone but it says additional costs may occur. Does that mean it costs money for me to connect my other devices or just if i exceed the amount of 3g i'm paying for.
- Using the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone? The Wi-Fi on my Laptop doesn't work, so I can't connect to the internet. I'm using the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone to connect to the internet. My iPhone is connected to my homes Wi-Fi. I'm curious, when my Laptop is connected to the Personal Hotspot, is it accessing my iPhones internet, or is it running off my home internet?
- Using Personal Hotspot with my DELL Laptop? Ok, so this idea just hit me. If I turn on the "Personal Hotspot" on my iPhone 5c (with 3G service on), and connect it to my computer via USB, will it make my laptop internet faster as well? The 3G service is So much more faster on my iPhone 5c than on my DELL Laptop! So will this help my laptop if I select my iPhone on the internet connection?
- Using my iPhone as a personal hotspot? Is it safe to use my iPhone as my personal hotspot? When I eventually sell my iPhone, will it be possible for that person to somehow view / revisit all the sites I visited while using my iPhone as my personal hotspot? (Example: online banking, online shopping, paying my bills online.)
