ELLHNAS Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Does anyone know how to use the new Ipad as a personal hotspot? I need to use the new Ipad to connect to the internet using my desktop. It seems that the personal hotspot option is not visible in the Ipad settings. Is this a carrier (I have 3G with True) or an OS issue?

justsumhelp Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Enable your cellular data, then go to General then About, next a notification should pop up saying do you want to upgrade carrier settings, click yes. Then go back to general and press network then the option will appear also a Personal Hotspot option on the side bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Settings->General->Network->Personal Hotspot Make sure cellular data is on. No problems using True 3G as personal hotspot. Lasts 24 hours on battery if used as WiFi hotspot!! Once it's on, you will get a "Personal Hotspot" item in the main Settings screen, right under WiFi. As long as it's disabled that item isn't there.

GooEng Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Seems it was disabled by my SIM in saudi - as soon as I put my Thai Truemove SIM back in when I got home it appeared again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKAsok Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 @GooEng - Install TetherMe or MyWi if you're jailbroken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's carrier specific. Some don't allow it and others charge you extra. Idiotic in my view, I'd much rather just have a limited data plan and use the data whichever way I like...

GooEng Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Yeh, the weird thing is that's iPhone hotspots no bother in saudi using a sim from the same provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Dye Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Guys can I ask a question partly related? I have Iphone 4S and want to use it as personal hotspot for wireless laptop. AIS is my 3G provider. I go Settings-general but then no option for networks. Ideas please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKAsok Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 ^Should be under settings, not settings/general. It will be greyed out until you enable cellular data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
