Since getting my new IPhone 13 pro in September my hotspot does not work. It does not show up when trying to connect any other device to it

Hi @Hope971 ,
Have you already tried the steps at the below link?
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203302
If you can't connect to Personal Hotspot with Wi-Fi
On the device that provides Personal Hotspot, go to Settings > Personal Hotspot, then follow these steps:
- Make sure that Allow Others to Join is on.
- Remember the device's Wi-Fi network name and password that appear on this screen. If you want to change the Wi-Fi network name, learn how to change your device name.
- If you're using an iPhone 12 model or later, turn on Maximise Compatibility. Then try connecting your devices to your Personal Hotspot again.
- Stay on this screen until you connect your other device to the Wi-Fi network.
On the device that needs to connect to Personal Hotspot, follow these steps:
- Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
- Make sure you connect to the correct Wi-Fi network. The network name will be the same as the iOS device providing Personal Hotspot, and the Personal Hotspot icon may appear next to it.
- If you see a password error when you try to join Personal Hotspot, check the Wi-Fi password: on the device that provides the Personal Hotspot, go to Settings > Personal Hotspot to see the Wi-Fi password.

Always keep lying to us what you’re written above, because if this service, and until I find alternative solutions, I’m gonna leave EE, for good, 4 years customer for them, I don’t know what happened to them last year, even my unlimited internet been chaneged to 120 gb.

I am sorry to hear this.
Does your data show as unlimited in your EE app?
Are you unable to use your device as a mobile hotspot?
Leanne.

Welcome to the community.
Have you tried resetting your network settings on your iPhone?:
Tap Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings, then follow the prompts on the screen.
Also worth checking to make sure your software is fully up to date:
Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
