Why doesn't my iPhone 5 have personal hotspot?
Personal hotspot has disappeared. It's not there when I open Settings.
It's not in Settings<General<Cellular either. My carrier doesn't require paying for tethering to work and everything about my iPhone is identical to my friends iPhone. All the settings, iOS versions, all that stuff.
Why doesn't my iPhone have personal hotspot? It just doesn't appear and, apparently, nobody else has had this problem, because when I search on Google it doesn't appear. Everyone says "Settings<General<Cellular" but it just isn't there. It just says "Cellular network settings" which takes me to the APN where the DATA settings of my carrier are included. No signs of "Personal hotspot" anywhere. Why is that?
Added (1). Oh dear… First answer to my question and it's already the same thing…
I clearly stated that "SETTINGS<GENERAL<CELLULAR" does NOT have Personal Hotspot there on my iPhone.
I would appreciate people taking the time to actually read what the problem is before answering…
Added (2). 6.1.4, the latest firmware that is only available on iPhone 5.
Certificate? I will attempt that.
Added (3). I can't find "Profile" in General. IPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4.
Settings/General/Cellular
Is it updated to the newest firmware? If not, there's the problem. Also, maybe your friends have different carriers. I know my Aunt's iPhone 4 has a different setup from mine. Try searching Google with your phone, carrier and hotspot.
I had a similar issue with my iPhone 4. Turned out there was a certificate installed which interfered with the hotspot. Try this and let me know if it works.
Setting - general - profile. Then remove the certificate.
Edit: Ah, sorry bud - at least I tried.
You carrier could have removed the option to do so as was the case for mine back in 2010. Not all carriers support it for whatever reason despite the phone being fully capable of doing so.
- Who is connected in my personal hotspot in iphone? I need to know who is connected, because i have 2 connected now while i only connect this to my ipad.
- 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.
