Personal Hotspot on iPhone 4S?
At the moment we're waiting for sky broadband to be installed sometime Tuesday next week, and need to use Wi-Fi on our other products. For some reason, my iPhone 4S won't show the personal hotspot like other iPhones do. I'm on the O2-UK network on pay as you go.
The information below is taken from the O2 website, and may help you to get things set up and running:
Set up O2 tethering on iPhone
Enabling O2 tethering on an iPhone is easy. Simply tap into Settings, then select Personal Hotspot. Flick it to the 'on' position and you're set.
The iPhone's Personal Hotspot feature works via Wi-Fi or USB by default, but when you turn it on a message will pop up asking if you want to enable Bluetooth too. You can share your iPhone's internet connection with up to five devices simultaneously using Wi-Fi, so it's the best option if you're using multiple gadgets to share its connection. If you have any problems, just give customer services a call for free by dialing 2302 from your mobile.
Does tethering cost extra?
Not a penny! If you opt for one of our latest Pay Monthly tariffs with 500MB or 1GB of data, tethering is free. That means you can use your data allowance in the way that best suits you. You can see the options in our tariff table.
