Thanks everyone for your input.
you know the old saying, “did you try turning it off and on?”

cheers

Thanks all, this is getting strange. In my system services table the personal hotspot is listed at 12.2 GB
any idea what that is?

try to do this, if is not working is your device issue..
do one thing Make sure your phone is off before removing your SIM card,
and take your SIM card out and waiting for a 2 minute and put it back and turn on -This one is quick and simple.
what is mean for Rebooting the phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.
or can you do try reseat the SIM card
1. power off your device
2. take out the SIM card,
3. wipe it clean SIM card,
4. put it back and power on,
5. toggling airplane mode off/on,
and do again Rebooting your phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

Public Mobile is not blocking hotspot. This is a device software issue.
