Who I have the same questioned this topic

I've been using the hotspot feature on my phone fine for about a year. But recently the hotspot is not working. When I turn it on it doesn't broadcast a signal, isn't discoverable, and the blue notification window that the hotspot is on does not come up in the display. If I completely turn my phone off and then back on it will work. But thats ridiculous to have to do all the time. I contacted Verizon Support but naturally haven't received a reply.
