There's no need to post multiple times about the same issue.

First make sure that your APN settings are configured correctly. 

Text "APN" to 50048 and follow the instructions here:

• https://community.48.ie/t5/The-Newsroom/APN-Settings-step-by-step-guide-for-50048/m-p/60689

Then follow the instructions here to set up the hotspot

If you have problems then check out the section here titled "A note about personal hotspot setup on iPhones":

If you still can't get it working then post back with more details or contact 48 support for further assistance.

Even when I go and text APN on 50048 it says the handset does not support this service even though I have my 48 sim inserted

iPhones don’t support configuration messages so you have to do it manually.

Settings > Mobile Service/Mobile Data > Mobile Data Network

Mobile Data > APN > 48months.liffeytelecom.com

MMS > APN > 48months.liffeytelecom.com
MMS > MMSC > http://mmc1/servlets/mms
MMS > MMS Proxy > 10.1.11.19:8080

Personal Hotspot > APN > 48months.liffeytelecom.com

Restart your phone and it should be working then. The ‘Personal Hotspot’ setting will show up in settings

“ If your mobile data is working but the issue is just your hotspot/tethering, then follow the below steps. Typically the below settings are an additional step required on iPhone and for Android just the correct data APN is needed.

1.Select Settings
2.Select Mobile Data and Mobile Data Options
3.Select Mobile Data Network
4.Scroll to MOBILE DATA
5. Scroll to Personal Hotspot and enter APN 48months.liffeytelecom.com
6.Press the Back button to complete “

The problem is that Apple add another hoop to jump through and it isn't immediately obvious how to get past this.

In this case the personal hotspot option doesn't even appear and the iPhone tells the user to contact their network provider.

The link that I posted deals with this and how to circumvent it.

it’s just on 48 the iPhone doesn’t populate the Personal Hotspot APN by default which is always visible in APN settings. it just needs to be entered before the Personal Hotspot setting appears.
