I just followed draalin's instruction on Setting the iPhone 6 Hotspot, and yes it yielded a great result! Thanks. You really must copy and paste (that nothing” around the APN, USERNAME & PASSWORD)according to his instructions, even if you can't see any thing to repeat from the APN, USERNAME & PASSWORD slots under CELLULAR DATA.
