I took out an iPad mini contract with telkom mobile this week and found out after that telkom mobile doesn't support personal hotspot. I'd like to know why not and whether this will be changed?

Otherwise, I'm very happy with my mini and the data speeds. Would just like to share my data with my other 2 devices.

The personal hotpot is a feature of the iPad software. The network provider you use to access the internet won't have any control over that. It's not something that be supported or not supported by the network provider.

I've upgraded to iOS 7, was hoping there would also be some advice on how to "bypass" this challenge?

Did you read the thread I linked to?

People never read :p They just glance at what you posted.


OP if you want hotspot feature activated get yourself a MiFi problem solved :p - CELL C was the first SP in South Africa to get the mobile hotspot working out of the box, during iOS 7 updates other followed suite :) except 8ta/telkom mobile possibly cause they not resellers.
