Personal Hotspot

[DF12]

Hi,

I just got a new iPhone 5C on Pay and Go. 

I need to set up the Personal Hotspot on it but it's not on the phone.

What do I need to do to find it and set it up?

You need to move to a pay monthly tariff no hotspot on o2 payg

You must upgrade to a sim only or full contract if the Hot Spot function is a deal breaker for you to tether your iphone to another device or buy a device like an O2 pocket hotspot.

How do you change to full contract? Is there way to do this through myO2? Or is there a link you can provide for information on changing from Pay and Go to Pay Monthly?

Otherwise I'll need to return the phone unfortunately as tethering is a deal breaker. 

Thanks for your help.

You can take a sim only contract from the shop links on here..

You're welcome.

Do as MI5 says or ring cs on 4445.



If you can pass a credit check you should have no issues.

If your within the 7 day cooling off Period you could return the iPhone and sim. Refund it and take out a full pay monthly contract.

Thank you so much. So if I take out one of these sim only contracts I'll definitely have the Personal Hotspot on the phone and will be able to tether?

Yes

I assume you paid retail price around £430 for the iPhone 5c on Payg ?

It may be cheaper to open up a full contract.

Thank you. I'll just go with the sim, it works out the around the same price per month as I would have been paying with a bolt on anyway and I don't have to commit to 2 years. Thanks for all your help.

Most welcome.

Remember tethering May also use your mobile data allowance faster.
