How to activate hotspot in iphone 4S. I am using BSNL Network in India
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1
Is it a supported cellular provider? Does it provided tethering as an option?

You will need to contact your carrier to enable Personal Hotspot on your cellular data plan. As there are no supported carriers in India this may not be possible. This might also help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517
Ok but i didnt get personal hotspot utility in the Settings-> General ->Network
Go to settings > personal hotspot then if you can turn it on
Do you have 3G plan/service activated on your phone?
If you have 3G service activated on your phone, you may try entering the generic APN settings manually. (give it a shot, for some BSNL users it works).
Settings copied from BSNL website.
Make sure your 3G is ON before entering these settings. [SETTINGS - GENERAL - NETWORK - CELLULAR DATA - ON]
Now go to:
SETTINGS - GENERAL - NETWORK - CELLULAR DATA NETWORK
Enter the following settings exactly:
CELLULAR DATA
APN bsnlnet
Username Leave blank
Password Leave blank
MMS
APN bsnlmms
Username Leave blank
Password Leave blank
MMS Proxy 10.210.10.11:8080
MMS Max msg size 102400
MMS UA Prof URL Leave blank
INTERNET TETHERING
APN bsnlnet
Username Leave blank
Password Leave blank
Click on "network" on top left. You may need to reboot your iPhone.
If successfully activated, you will be able to see "Personal Hotspot" below the "Cellular Data Network" option on the same page.

Aircel and Airtel are the 2 supported carriers in India.

Many thanks for the info, appreciated 🙂
You may enter MMS settings if you want to activate it, otherwise leave MMS settings blank.
You are most welcome. 🙂
Thanks a lot now its working fine
I am glad it worked.
Make sure to call BSNL customer support and ask them to activate MMS on your number. It needs to be activated from carrier's end also.
Enjoy..!
