Personal Hotspot not working on iPhone 6

I've read a few others having this issue. I also have this issue. I did a reset of all settings and now it shows a spinning wheel for a while, then "Set Up Personal Hotspot" and prompts to call Verizon. (are you Verizon as well?) I spent hours with a rep troubleshooting with no fix. I've completely restored the phone, set it up as new (no backup) - nothing works. Verizon claims all is set up on their end, they tried resetting things to no avail.

I also don't have the VoLTE feature that is supposed to be behind the Enable LTE option. (its just a simple on off switch, where it should lead to another menu area)

I suspect bad hardware but am curious if others have run into this and if anyone has found a fix.

My wife's new Verizon iPhone 6 works just fine.

iPhone 6 128gb Verizon, iOS 8, switched over from AT&T so had my number ported.

II'm having the same issues with Verizon as well. They claim it is turn on their side but I'm always prompted to call or go on the website. i just updated to iOS 8.0.2 and still no progress. Not sure what else to do, but still working on it.

Take it in and get the phone replaced. I just got mine replaced and all is now working again.

Its defective hardware. Have them swap it out for you.

I am now on my third iPhone 6 with no success fixing the issue. Hot spot works very intermittently regardless of device trying to use it (MBA, win7 laptop, tablet, chromebook). Phone itself can connect to any website but once the hot spot is activated, any device connected via the hot spot cannot access the web in any way. However, every once in while, it works fine for a period of time (5 minutes to over an hour). Then it will again fail to connect to the web (no specific activity causes the failure) . Rebooting, resetting, swapping SIM cards and replacing the phone have all been tried. Have spent 6 hours on the phone with Verizon and visited two Apple genius bars. Verizon is treating this as a real issue which they think is a phone problem. Apple acts like it's Verizon's problem which seems unlikely given the successful hot spot use on other phones. It's not location specific as phone(s) has been all over Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Behavior is the same everywhere. In the same household sharing the same data plan, we have an Android phone (HTC One) and that hot spot works flawlessly. The previous phone on the affected line was an Android (HTC DNA) and it too worked flawlessly. VERY frustrating!

for me, the blue connection disappeared as soon as I started connecting to my laptop, I fixed it by disable "firewall" from an antivirus called "avg". But do do not forget to turn firewall back on after use 🙂

I have has the same problem but figured how to fix it and so in order to fix the issue you must change your VPN settings and immediately it should come on ..... if not the other issue is the carrier you are using as that was the problem with a friend of mines ...... let me now if this was helpful enjoy your day !!🙂
