Fixing disabled iPhone 17 Pro roaming in the UK on Three Ireland

My iPhone 17 Pro would not let me enable roaming when I travelled to Northern Ireland recently from ROI. The hotspot button was greyed out and unresponsive. I use Three Ireland as my network.

The solution was to navigate to:

  • Navigate to Settings->Mobile Service
  • Select your sim card under ā€œSIMsā€
  • Go to ā€œMobile Data Networkā€
  • Change the APN under ā€œPersonal Hotspotā€ from open.internet to internet.

My hotspot began working immediately.
