Hello nrnaeim,
We see you need help with getting your Personal Hotspot to work while you are using your physical SIM card. The best steps to start with are outlined here: If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular)
If you can't connect to Personal Hotspot with Wi-Fi
On the device that provides Personal Hotspot, go to Settings > Personal Hotspot, then:
1. Make sure that Allow Others to Join is on.
2. Remember the device's Wi-Fi network name and password that appear on this screen. If you want to change the Wi-Fi network name, learn how to change your device name.
3. If you're using an iPhone 12 model or later, iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation or later), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation or later), or iPad mini (6th generation), turn on Maximize Compatibility.* Then try connecting your devices again to your Personal Hotspot.
Stay on this screen until you connect your other device to the Wi-Fi network.
Also, since it appears to be specific with that SIM card versus your eSIM, you may need to check with the carrier that provides the plan for the physical SIM card to make sure it is supported.
Best regards.
It says set up personal hotspot but it won’t set up
