Dear All,

Thanks for your comment. Anyway, my Bolt SIM was able to do tethering on other android phone, i confirm this. But i cannot option to enable hotspot when my Bolt SIM insert to iphone 6. Any suggestion?

Just because it worked on an Android doesn't mean it will work on an iPhone. There are different features that a carrier has to enable depending on the type of phone.


At a guess, I'd say that Bolt is not an official iPhone carrier and therefore the iPhone doesn't get properly configured. If that's the case, there's not much you can do.

Do you have any idea how to get contact with iphone to make it official cooperation between this new carrier and iphone? or any of Apple representative can help with this discussion?

Find your location using this Apple support document and you can find the supported carriers. If your carrier does not appear here, then they are not supported. The carrier would need to make contact with Apple to ensure they comply with all of the requirements for the iPhone and service before they would be added to the list.

While the title states United States and Canada, the document itself actually contains information about other country's carriers as well. That would explain your inability to use tethering.
