My phone says to contact public mobile to activate hotspot on my device. How do I do this?

@horsfieldkenny   this is an iPhone setting.  So, you did that on the device connected to the hotspot and NOT the device that has hotspot setup, right?

You wouldn't contact Public Mobile about this. It's a phone issue. Hotspot is alredy activated for everyone.

@peterlagrand  - how is your phone telling you to contact Public Mobile for hotspotting?

 

Do you see something like this in your phone, can you go to:

  • Settings
  • Connections
  • Mobile hotspot and tethering
  • Turn on Hotspot (you'll need to turn on your DATA and turn off your wifi settings)

 

Do you have data left on your account? Go to My Account and check or call 611 to check your data balance.

@peterlagrand 

in the phone settings is where you'll find to enable Hotspot...then it'll provide a password to use on any device using your data via hotspot.
