Personal HotSpot - where do I find it, how do I activate it?

I explained to you a few days ago how the option will work Personal HotSpot with operators in Romania and now I come with some additions that will help you understand why Personal HotSpot works or not for you. Before starting please read This article to understand what this new function is all about. Now that you have read, let me tell you that this function can be activated from: Settings>General>Network>Personal HotSpot. The option will be automatically available to you if you use Cosmote or Orange and will not be available if you use Vodafone (with the latest carrier bundle) or Digi Mobil (it doesn't appear to me).

The Personal HotSpot option only works on iPhone 4.

Orange – the Personal HotSpot function replaces Internet tethering, which is activated at Orange Romania by activating the option Modem in your subscription. The option costs 4 euros per month and without it you will not be able to activate Personal HotSpot without jailbreaking.

Cosmote – you have the Personal HotSpot option activated for free.

Vodafone - if you have the latest Carrier Bundle installed, you will not be able to activate this option because Vodafone does not offer it. As far as I know, Vodafone does not have any option in its offer that allows you to activate Personal HotSpot.

Digi Mobil - the same situation as in the case of Vodafone.

If you don't want to pay Orange or wait until Vodafone launches an option for Personal HotSpot, you can jailbreak iOS 4.3 (after it appears) and install TetherMe or MyWi to activate the option.

  1. from what I can see, iOS 4.3 is roughly equal to 0.
    ok some bugfixes, a PHS that no one uses anymore, or at least very few people, a theoretically faster Safari, and that's about it. Little poor bunny with this update.

    I put it in since I found out from zaone, 10 minutes after he announced it I had it, yes, it doesn't impress me at all, what's wrong with him, what's wrong without him.

    they also put in some new ringtones, they let you choose how many times you want to be notified by SMS, you have that... weak, very weak

  2. My personal hotspot appears directly in settings, under notifications.
    The final version of xCode 4 has also appeared, it is free for developers registered with Apple and in the Mac AppStore for sale for 3.99 :))

  3. On Vodafone it's as zaone says. That is, there was no Personal HotSpot. And they boast that they have the best data network. When it comes to giving something from them, they are the last in Romania. I have 2 subscriptions on 2 Iphone4 and I cannot use the laptop on them. I received a call from them yesterday that they have a big surprise for me! Let's do it again, a net subscription for a laptop because they have a great offer! I told them that if they don't give me access through the IPhone Personal hot spot, I'll move to Cosmote.

  4. We salute!

    I have a question:
    ...version of IOS 4.3 also fixes the impossibility of sending MMS from the IPhone 4 to the Vodafone network?...I had an IPhone 4 with IOS 4.2.1 Vf Carrier 9.1 and it could not send MMS...I sent the mobile for service and I received a new one but with IOS 4.1 and Vf Carrier 8...on it I can send MMS ok...I'm curious if I switch to IOS 4.3 will the problem with MMS come back?...Mcy!

  5. Hello,
    At Orange, it should be mentioned that the Modem option is included free of charge in the ab. Pantera for iPhone 49 and in the My Smartphone Plus option

  6. Hello,
    An additional mention regarding HotSpot on Orange / iPhone4.
    Last night, after the update to iOS 4.3, this option was valid and working for the Pantera 29 subscription as well. This morning, however, the option was disabled by Orange. 🙁

  7. @Colin…I think the error was from Apple.
    Of course, but to access this option, you must have access to another apn in your profile, i.e. "modem"

    If you don't have it in your profile, it can't appear by itself or disappear... maybe last night that option went through the internet apn...

  8. I always refuse to install it when itunes tells me that it has a carrier update and so I can do internet sharing from my iPhone (I have 4.2.1). What is the carrier bundle from vodafone used for?

  9. hi, I also have a question, I installed 4.3.1 and my personal hotspot does not appear, I'm in Italy on a local network, WIND appears only when the network allows you, I read everywhere and didn't really find anything, thanks for your attention!

  10. I also have a question for those who use the webnwalk option from cosmote. Did you manage to connect using a personal hotspot from another phone, for example? For me, the option exists, I turn it on, the network sees it, it connects, but when I try to access a the Internet page appears Cosmote car service, that is, in Romanian, it seems that access is actually restricted. Has anyone else suffered?

  11. I can't activate Cosmote. I use wnw and when I tap on "Setup Personal Hotspot" it gives me the message "To enable Personal Hotspot on this account, contact COSMOTE".
    Yesterday I called them, one of them answered me and said that he sent me the solution by email. When I enter the mail, it sent me the wnw settings (user, pass and apn)
    That gives feedback. I'm calling again today 🙂

  12. hello, I have an iphone 4 ios 7.1.2 and I can't activate the hotspot, it tells me that: to activate the personal hotspot for this account, contact Carrier. I am a digi user. Can I activate it?
