Personal Hotspot working on O2 network

[emoose]

I just plugged my iPad into my Mac and received a carrier settings update.

When complete I noticed that my iPad 3 had personal hotspot available under carrier settings.

I am on a prepaid data plan with O2 - currently the 1GB a month plan and it was unavailable until today. I think this may be the first UK carrier that enables it.

Not sure about iPad but the iPhone on o2 has had this for a while. Its very handy!

Personal hotspot has only been supported on iPad since the new iPad. So far no UK carrier has enabled it through carrier settings (at least that I know of).

Below is one of many threads on the apple boards discussing the lack of the feature.
