Hi Dear

I lost my Personal hotspot in My iphone 4s it shwos busy so how to enable the app

any solution ?

Actually the settings are all in the phone already, just not correctly!

Go settings-general-cellular-cellular data network, your settings will appear with the APN as web or "wap.vodafone.co.uk", you need to change both APN settings to "pp.vodafone.co.uk", the rest of the settings should be just fine!

I've tried all things everyone has said. When I go to general- there's no option "network" and I can't find it Nywhere. Someone please help. :)

As it says in my previous comment settings>general> scroll down>cellular, there you have personal hotspot & network data settings (cellular)!

My personal hotspot on iPhone4s iOS6.0.1 disappeared. But after I turned off (disabled) restrictions on general settings, it reappeared....

Hi I had to install the free app (Hotspot shield VPN) from the app store then you can delete the app again but hotspot should be back in your settings to set up and use once more

I hope this will work for you to Jim

This worked first time goth outshot back on my T-Mobile phone and then i just need to turn of the VPN thank you so much Jim

Regards.

Just thought I'd chip in with the solution that worked for me.

I'm in the UK on O2 with an iPhone 4S (6.1.2) and the personal hotspot feature disappeared a few weeks ago after a seemingly random network settings reset on the phone (I was suddenly having to re-enter all previously stored WiFi network passwords!).

Because it seemed to be a reset that caused it, I was reluctant to try a reset again and have to again re-enter all the WiFi passwords, so I called O2 to see if it could be resolved at their end. They said no, but Apple Support could help and transferred me. Ha, that automated system wanted £25 so I said "No thanks"!

I instead bit the bullet and went to Settings->General->Mobile Data, scrolled down to reveal 'Mobile Data Network', selected that and scrolled right to the bottom of the Mobile Data settings to reveal the 'Reset Settings' button. Clicked that, confirmed that I was happy to "reset all network related settings to their original values" and hey presto, Peronal Hotspot was back under Settings->General->Mobile Data (scroll down for it) without me even having to reboot the phone!

The cool thing is, my WiFi connection remained (so the WiFi password is not wiped). I think this is therefore becuase this is a different reset from Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings. That one will prompt for your passcode (at least mind does) and WILL wipe your WiFi passwords I'm sure. The correct one under Settings->General->Mobile Data->Mobile Data Network->Reset Settings does NOT ask for your passcode, mearly for the confirmation mentioned above.

For those in the US and other countries you may find that you need to substitue 'Mobile' with 'Cellular', but the process should be the same.

Give it a try!

Hi Guys,

I tried EVERYTHING reset,restore, turn off/on again and even installing Hotspot shield VPN. Nothing worked for me I texted my carrier they told me they couldn't do anything. I am on Iphone 4s in O2 Germany.

Anybody got an Idea?

i have had the same problem i did everything but i than worked out why it was missing my data roaming was turned off once i turned that back on my personal hotspot came back on i hope this helps some of you

hi guys,

ive got iphone 3gs and no personal hotspot anywhere in settings, tried all the tricks listed in all these posts however unsuccessful. my current network plan does not include tethering (i get only 1gb/month) but i found a great deal with another network. when i called my current network provider they said that i dont have the hotspot icon on my phone as my plan does not cover tethering. but they said if i get an unlimited data plan with another provider the icon should automaticaly re-appear. i went to purchase the new sim but the guys in the shop didnt want to sell it to me saying they cant promise the personal hotspot will re-appear in my setting. i told them my boyfriend has got exactly the same phone with unlimited data plan and he has got a personal hotspot option on his phone (as they all tried to tell me that my phone does not support that option). so, finally, the question is do u think that just putting a new sim in with unlimited data usage will help resolve the issue and the personal hotspot icon will just magically appear on my phone? any help appreciated.

many thanks
