    Please re-phrase the question. The body of your post seems to have nothing at all to do with the title.

    Sorry, I mean the phn cannot access Internet and the network provider said it's because the hotspot is on, so my question is what can I do in order for the Internet to start working again, but it's works when connected to the wifi.

    Thanks hope you get it this time...

    Exactly what is it you want?

     

    On the subject you state thet you want to turn off the phone's "personal hotspot" which is used for providing Internet connectivity for other devices by using the phone's connectivity thru the carrier's network. This is controlled thru Settings / Personal Hotspot (On/Off).

     

    But in the body of your message you state you cannot connect thru your carrier (connecting after SIM card registration) and you connect thru Wi-Fi. Which in turn connects via Settings / Wi-Fi and you choose the access point, with possible authentication, on the following screen once the option is On.
