IPhone personal hotspot feature disappearing. Is there a solution?

On the iPhone 5, the personal hotspot feature is disappearing from the settings menu! However, when I go to settings, general, cellular, and enable personal hotspot, it says to contact my carrier. My account has the personal hotspot feature. Is there a solution? Note: I've done a network reset, as well as a restoration of the device.

If the iPhone is telling you to contact the carrier; I would assume it is a data issue; and perhaps your data is nearing it's limits. Not sure, give them a call.

  • Will I receive data charges for using the hotspot feature on my iphone? I would like to use the internet on my laptop during a road trip. Can I connect to the internet using an Apple iPhone 4? If I do so, will I receive data charges on my iPhone or will this use up my monthly allowed data as per my monthly data plan?
  • 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.
  • Is the personal hotspot option on the iphone safe? I just learned i can use my iphone as a hotpot and i freaked out! Apparently you go settings, general, network, the it says personal hotspot! So is it safe? More importantly does it cost a lot or free?
  • Is personal hotspot free for iphone 4s? I have all you can eat data for my iphone 4s and have just found personal hotspot. I connected it up to my laptop and was just wondering will I incur any additional charges by doing so? thanks By the way i'm on network 3 if that makes any difference.
