thanks but my proplem is ICON is not appearing for personal hot spot and i saw soe post and after following it does not still appear whcih suggest to reset network settings my os is 5.1 any fix for thsi bug
If you mean an icon on the home screen, there is none. The personal hotspot can be activated from the settings, either on the main screen or under settings-general-network. Note that if you haven't called your carrier to subscribe to a mobile hotspot plan, you won't be able to enable it.
thanks for your kind reply it seem to be carrier proplem but for my understanding as per my little knowledgewhat carrier has to do with hotspot its like wifi router just plugin the source...n device makes it wifi hotspot can you kindly hilight
I think they moved the "Personal Hotspot" setting in the latest update.
Look under: Settings>General>Network>Personal Hotspot
Now tap back to Settings and you should see the familiar Personal Hotspot option. Yes, you will lose your wireless network passwords and custom DNS settings by resetting network preferences, so be sure to note any necessary network settings before doing so.
Those are all wrong. It's going to be under your "Cellular" tab under General Settings. This is assuming you are running 6.0.1
guys, or you have to do is switch on data roaming in the settings, general, mobile data and then make sure data roaming, mobile data and 3g are on
it then appears under the settings tab when you scroll back....
I had the exact same issue on my 4S. I went into settings and General and Cellular. When I tried to setup personal Hotspot, it asked me to contact my carrier VERIZON. Upon calling them, they said I would have to upgraded my Data Plan from 2GB to 4GB ($20/mo increase to my existing plan). No Thank You!!!
Everything should work now and if the problem ever recurs, repeat these steps. I’m not entirely sure what is going on and it would be interesting to know if the problem is in Apple’s iOS 6.1.2 or with AT&T, but this solution worked for me.
Yesterday I noticed that Personal Hotspot option was missing in my settings on iPhone 4S iOS 6.1.
After tweaking a bit and reading the forum I called my carrier and asked them about the availability on my plan, they replied that as long as I have mobile Internet 3G connection I should be able to use the hotspot option on my phone.
so I did tweak a bit but no use, finally I decided to provide username and password for the "Interent Tethering" option, once that done the hotspot option under settings appeared and it's working quite well.
basically what I did is.
1. Enable Bluetooth
2. Settings>General>Cellular>
3. Scroll down to "Cellular Data Network" > scroll down to Internet Tethering and set APN, Username and Password like the ones in your Cellular Data.
Personal Hotspot should appear in the settings.
I later removed the credentials and it seems to be working. hope this helps.
Cheers!!

Install the correct APN for your network.
