Charles,

You did not give us a lot of information to go on, like it worked one day at the same location that it did not work the next.

Does T-Mobile have anything like Mark the Spot to report problems? Have you called T-Mobile?

The iPhone is not a Mac, either the service is available or not, so no greying out, and since it can not connect, how is it supposed to figure out why it can not connect?

Yeah and no.

Yesterday I used the hotspot for 2 hours at my new desk. Today at same desk the Hotspot vanished and was never available. The building or my desk did not move. I have used the hotspot in all the areas I drove through today in the past.

It could be a tower thing - maybe a T-Mobile tower was out today but this was happening in a variety of locations. Maybe their "cloud" that enables that service was misbehaving today.

I just hoped not only might someone know something - but it seems surprising to me it gives no "greying" or no indicator like "Hotspot not available for ___ reason" which would be truly useful.

There are shadowed areas with any radio transmission. I bet if you kept track of where it vanishes, you would find the locations are repeatable.

I had LTE coverage and it was gone.

I had 4g and it was gone.

Most of the time it is there.

You mean Personal Hotspot?
It vanishes when you do not have data (3G, LTE) coverage.

The hotspot option is not always available. It just vanishes from settings. Any pointers?
