Hi @Anonymous

Firstly, let me say I'm no expert on iPhones, never having owned one. However, on doing a Google search, I found the following information for the iPhone 6 which I hope sorts out your problem:

• From the home screen tap settings
• Tap cellular
• Tap personal hotspot
• Slide the switch to on to enable
• Tap Wifi password
• Enter password then tap done.

The personal hotspot is now active allowing several devices to connect using wifi.

Hope the above helps but if you still are having problems please do come back where one of our members who use an iphone can assist you and welcome to the forum.

Lover of all things Samsung. Currently using Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus 128gb

The apn settings will be wrong for an iPhone on your account as they are different for Samsung phones.
Call customer service and ask them to change your data to idata for iPhones then wait 24 hours for it to activate and turn your phone off and back on again.
Hotspot should then work fine.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
