Can anybody kindly tell me why I do not have a Personal Hotspot button on my new generation iPad. My service provider assured me they support hotspot on devices. My Samsung Galaxy 7 (which I owned earlier) supports hotspot without me having to approach the service provider. Thanks for allowing me to encroach on your time.

Trouble Shooting
Thank you AnaMusic, for your time. The basic issue of not having the hotspot button on my iPad was not addressed. I wish I could attach screen shots to show the absence of this button on my pad. The article on this issue did not touch on the issue of the service provider permitting the service but the IPad not having the Personal Hotspot button. Any suggestion?
If you don't get the Settngs > General > Network > Personal Hotspot option, then did your carrier say that they support it on the iPad (some carriers support it on the iPhone but not the iPad), and have you checked to see if you have any updates from your carrier (carrier updates) ?
Thanks King_Penguin, if I get you right, the presence of the Personal Hotspot buttton is carrier, and not iPad, dependent? Am I right?
It is carrier dependent, yes
Thanks. This is very useful information. I will contact my service provider again. You guys have been great!
