Why won’t my personal hotspot work

Have you tried searching for ‘Personal Hotspot’ in the settings search bar? It’s under Cellular on my phone.

If you look at the screenshot, ‘Personal Hotspot’ doesn’t even appear. It just shows ‘Mobile Service’ and ‘Battery’.

If it’s a prepaid sim, they might block hotspot sharing. You could check if other prepaid providers allow it.

My friend and I have the same sim and plan. His hotspot works perfectly, but mine doesn’t.

Hotspot issues are usually related to the carrier. You might need to contact them to fix it.

Does your carrier even support hotspot?

You might need an international roaming plan, or maybe switch to a local eSIM.

I already have a local sim.
