Go to Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions

Then set all to ON.

Just updated my iPhone 4 to 4.3 today. Had the same problem. Tried to enable restrictions and it worked.

Hope this solves the problem.

Personal Hotspot is not included and is not part of the Restrictions.

Just make sure to reset network settings after upgrade and if you're on Sun or Smart, be sure to have the correct settings in Internet Tethering part under Cellular Data Network. Make sure also that Cellular Data is On.

Just to add. I finally figured out why my wife's Globe locked iP4 wasn't showing the hotspot menu. The APN address in the settings has to be a valid address. Once phone sees the address as invalid, the hotspot menu will not appear.

so are there any solutions?

cuz i have the same problem with my iphone 3gs. I am using globe prepaid (apn http.globe.com.ph)...

right now while checking it out i ran out of load and can't use the internet on the mobile ... is this might the reason?? or how can i make it work for me?

Personal Hotspot feature (Wi-Fi Hotspot with up to 5 simultaneous devices (Wi-Fi Hotspot iPhone 4 Only)) on supported carriers.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history#current

Is Personal Hotspot works on Prepaid? i already see my Personal Hotspot but i didn't try it yet

The checklist is pretty simple:

1. Check if you have an iPhone4 <- verrry important

2. Check if you have the correct APN settings for your carrier. This setting can be found in Settings->General->Network->Cellular Data Network. Make sure too, that your account is provisioned for mobile internet connectivity (see posters and print ads for details)

3. Make sure Cellular Data is set to ON. This can be found under Settings->General->Network. For even faster speeds, 3G is preferred to be ON as well (if available)...

4. Make sure your account has enough credits (load)

Do the above and you should be good to go with the Personal Hotspot feature.

Lastly, before you start to complain about your bills skyrocketing or your load being spent, make sure to turn OFF Cellular Data when you're done using this wonderful new feature

Oh, by the way, i did forget that you need to turn ON Personal Hotspot. Make this #5 on the checklist

Note: this works for both postpaid and prepaid .

Update: i forgot to mention, a Reset Network Settings also helps

uh, did you guys notice what #1 on my checklist was? Sa Tagalog,

1. Siguruhin kung kayo ay may iPhone4. <---- napaka importante

Ang personal hotspot ay (sa ngayon) maari lamang gumana kung kayo ay naka iPhone4 at ang inyong iOS ay 4.3.1 o mas mataas. Kung ang iPhone nyo eh mas maagang modelo kaysa iPhone4, kahit po pagbalibligtarin nyo po yan, hindi po lalabas ang bagong katangian ito ng iOS4.3.1 sa telepono nyo.

Sana po ay maliwanag na po ang lahat at harinawa'y nakatulong ang aking paliwanag.
