How do I set up a Personal Hotspot on my iPhone

A Personal Hotspot lets you share the mobile data connection of your iPhone (or iPad) when you don't have access to a Wi-Fi network.

Set up APN for Personal Hotspot

  • Settings > Cellular > Cellular Network
  • Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Network

2. Scroll to the very bottom until you see Personal hotspot. Add data.be as APN. No username or password is required.

3. Do NOT click on Reset settings. Instead, hit Mobile data on left top to go back. The setting will be saved.
