Q: Hotspot not able to locate my iPhone on the same wifi network?
hotspot feature not working. My iPad will not locate my iPhone on the same wifi network? I was under the impression you did not have to have personal hotspot enabled through you carrier that the new ios8.1 recognized your iPhone as an instant hotspot connection to your other ios8.1 devices such as my ipad which is a gen 3 with retina?

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
You do need to contact your carrier to have Personal Hotspon on your cellular plan. See the following article where it says "To use this feature, enable Personal Hotspot on your cellular data plan. Contact your carrier for informaiton and pricing."
