I have no hotspot option available?

There is no hotspot option available for selection on my iPad 4 under settings or cellular date? I have searching the internet for 10 days to no avail!

iPad, iOS 6.0.1, IPad 4 3G

Here are the instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4517 If the hotspot option is not available the most likely reasons are: (1) the provider disabled it with their sim; (2) you need to update your iOs; or (3) you need to restart your iPad after updating your iOs and inserting a new sim. Also, if the iPad is "locked" like a cell-phone, you may need to unlock it.

Confirm that your iOS device, computer, and wireless plan all meet the system requirements for Personal Hotspot.

Verify that Personal Hotspot is enabled by tapping Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.

Verify the Internet connection on your iOS device by tapping Safari and loading a new webpage.

If one connection type doesn't work, try another (for example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, try using USB or Bluetooth).

Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.

Install the latest version of iOS. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.

Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.q
