unfortunately I can't enable wifi hotspot to tether, as I get
"To enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611"
I am not a AT&T wireless customer but had my phone unlocked by AT&T (They sent me the code to unlock sim network to use overseas).
How can I have the hotspot functionality enabled to use the phone as it was intended (since I am not using AT&T this should be possible).
I believe that you need to get an updated Caer Settings file for your carrier, now that your phone is unlocked. The hotspot settings are controlled by that settings file.
