Setting up Personal Hotspot

Does anyone know if Straight Talk Wireless/Tracfone supports personal hotspot on an iPhone? I’ve been on the web site for an hour and have only gone in circles. Personal hotspot is enabled on my phone, meaning it’s not greyed out and I can turn it off and on. When i turn it on, it directs me to a Tracfone web site, and I have not been able to use this web site for help. Many thanks!

They do support it, but it has to be provisioned on your account for it to work and I don't believe it's free.


Call StraightTalk customer service. Make sure it's included in your plan and that your account is properly provisioned for an iPhone.

Hi Kelly,


It sounds like you need help setting up Personal Hotspot, and I want to help.


If you're being directed to your carrier's website, you'll likely need to add the Personal Hotspot feature to your line. Please contact your carrier to make sure your line is provisioned properly before following the steps to set up Personal Hotspot.


You can follow the steps here if they indicate it's ready to set up:
