| eSIM hotspot not working iphone XS |
But
when users switches to eSIM they are facing issue in using personal hotspot.
When you try to turn on the personal hotspot on eSIM it will not turn ON at
all. The same phone number with physical SIM was working great with eSIM and
personal hotspot but all after changing to eSIM the personal hotspot does not
work with eSIM and iOS 12. Perosnal Hotspot configuration is gone and can’t use
it anymore.
When
checked with the network carrier provider they clearly stat that the issue is
not in network but in the iPhones. One
apple users reported the issue as below :
“having
the same problem, my Perosnal Hotspot configuration is gone and can’t use it
anymore. This happened when I activated the second cellular plan on my Xs Max.
I have
an esim from Ooredoo and after activating the esim, hotspot was working fine,
but the moment I added another cellular plan, hotspot stopped working and now
giving a msg to contact the network provider.”
How to fix personal
hotspot not working with iPhone Xs/XR eSIM :
Fix 1:
Toggle Data roaming
For
many users what really worked to fix the hotspot issue with eSIM is to turn on
or Toggle the Data roaming in iPhone.
-Tap
Setting
-Tap on
Mobile Data
-Tap
mobile data option
-
Toggle the switch next to “Data Roaming”
to activate it.
Fix 2:
Use Physical SIM to turn on data
Since
there are no updates from the Apple on the issue and no recent updates on iOS
12.1 fixes the issue, there are not permanent fix as such to the issue. As a workaround
you can try to activate data using a physical sim, make sure that personal
hotspot is working, then switch back to your eSim data. It might work.
