unable to start tethering "checking subscription status"
hfischermn, I'm so sorry to hear that you're having trouble connecting to mobile hotspot! We're here to help resolve this, so you can enjoy this feature once again. What make & model device are you using to set up hotspot? Have you ever used it before on this device? If you have, how long have you been having trouble?
