First you have no service so you cannot create a hotspot without cellular service.
Option will be available if
Your mobile carrier supports tethering/personal hotspot.
Also, your data plan with your carrier should include a tethering option.
um yeah, about that.
My computer is set up downstiars behind very very thick walls and recption goes flucuates.
At the time I try to setup a HOTSPOT I had a machine connected to the internet via usb tethering.
But the next day I had the NOT TRUSTED message there was not service signal.
So replys with the assumption that the 3G cell service is working would be greatly valued.
Cheers.
Ok this is the suation as I don't have a boolean answer for the above option 😟
When I run the usb tether to the iPhone setdown by the window i get constant signal.
Devices:
0 - iPhone 4 (usb* / Wi-Fi / BllueTOOTH)
1 - Custom Built PC with Widows 7 & iTunes (usb* / ethernet)
2 - Mac-Air iOS Mountain Lion (usb* / Wi-Fi / BlueTOOTH)
3 - 1080p Apple TV (Wi-Fi / ethernet)
4 - HP printer/scanner (Wi-Fi / ethernet)
* usb tether
I can connect the iPhone 4 to the PC with usb tethering and connect to the internet via HOTSPOT.
I can connect the iPhone 4 to the Mac-Air with usb tethering or BlueTOOTH or Wi-Fi and connect to the internet via HOTSPOT.
However when I try to connect multiple devices to the HOTSPOT i get NO JOY.
I have been lead to understand that the HOTSPOT supports multiple devices connected, and am wondering if this is limited to one form of connection type (usb / Wi-Fi / BlueTOOTH) or if i can connect to multiple HOTSPOT ports via diffrent connection types and something is going wrong with my process.
I tryed to connec the PC with usb tethering and was succesful, but when trying to connect the AIR over Wi-Fi the HOTSPOT crashed....
Please suggest some options.
I do suspect that someone has cracked my iOS on my phone tho which may be the cause for this problem. but wish to make sure I am following the correct procedure.

you will find that Personal Hotspot is limited to one form of connection. Multiple devices are not supported.
Unique solution to a Boundary Value Problem. 🙂

Actually, that's not what it says. It says that the number of connections can be limited by the carrier, and may be no more than 3 at one time.
Thank you pointing out.
I did go through the support doc before posting, I could not see what you have pointed out. Would you be kind enough to help me on to this.

Thank you once again. I understood this differently.
