iPhone 6 - Devices can't connect to Hotspot
Hello community,
I got my iPhone 6 (T-Mobile) from the Apple Online-Store and use it with a MetroPCS Sim-card.
Everything is working fine, except the Personal Hotspot. No device (iPad, Laptop, other smartphone) is able to connect to the hotspot.
I looked around on the internet and found some compareable problems, but all suggested solutions did not work for me.
I also put the SIM into my old HTC One phone and opened a hotspot - this worked fine, so there is no problem with my MetroPCS plan.
Here is what I tried (All from the Apple support website for Hotspot problems):
- Reset network settings
- Reset general settings
- Reset the whole phone to factory settings
- turned on/off Wifi, Hotspot, Mobile Data
I also went to an Apple Store and they told me, that MetroPCS is not supported so they can't help me.
This is not what I expected from Apple and I'm pretty sure that somebody else has a solution for me.
The Hotspot works with the same sim-card in an Android phone so why shouldn't it work with the iPhone 6.
Thanks for all your help!
