I guess I can somewhat understand your paranoid views in the world we live
in, but a "personal hotspot" from an iPhone cannot be configured "open". In
other words, it can only be configured as a secured, password protected,
Wi-Fi hotspot. It is capable of supporting 5 simultaneous connections (3
Wi-Fi, 1 Bluetooth, and 1 wired, via USB). The better your 3G signal, the
quicker your Wi-Fi will be.
In answer to the original poster's question, nothing special has to be done
to make or receive a call when using the personal hotspot function. To
conserve battery, I do turn off the personal hotspot when I'm not using it.

> For those who may be using Personal Hotspot on AT&T, can you initiate or
receive a voice call spontaneously when using hotspot, or do you have to do
something special each time you want a voice call?
I never understood this personal hot spot thing. One ad showed someone
making one, and everybody around them smiling in gratitude as they connected
to the internet. I am a pretty generous person, for the most part. But any
time I think of making a hotspot - here is what comes to mind:
(1) The person streaming movies chewing up my data limitations
(2) An Al Quaida member looking up dirty bomb plans on the internet
(3) The kid download illegal songs
(4) A child pornographer downloading images
(5) Identity thief rummaging through my phone for bank passwords.
And I can think of lots more reasons why I'd NEVER create an internet hot
spot. Any one of the scenarios above could land me in the slammer as the
one who provided internet to the idiots.
So - why would anybody create an internet hot spot? I'd rather hand
somebody the keys to my house than let people have free internet off my
phone!!!!
