Can't activate Personal Hotspot on iPad 4, but can on iPhone 4...

Hello -


I have the new iPad and I can't get the personal hotspot to turn on. It simply has the round 'busy' icon and no on/off switch. The strange thing is that this works fine on my iPhone 4 with the same carrier (b-mobile in Bhutan).


Has any one heard of this before?


It seems strange that it will work with my iPhone and not my iPad..


Thanks!

Thanks for the advice. The hotspot setting is under settings, cellular data, and then personal hotspot. On mine, there is no on/off switch, only a round busy wheel that turns with no end.


I will check with the carrier over the next few days, but it seems they support the iPhone with Personal Hotspot and not the iPad..


That just seems odd.. Why one and not the other?
