My new PRIV won't hotspot

I just received my unlocked ATT PRIV today. I use Straight Talk service on ATT towers. I transfered the SIM from my Samsung, and everything is fine, except I can't hotspot. The error message says to call ATT 611. Since the main reason I bought it was to have hotspot, what can I do to activate it? My job depends on this.

I have had this problem as well, it has something to do with how the phone is recognized by the towers/system/network. The fix that worked for me was to call the carrier and ask them, they sent a small update and my phone worked. This was a unlocked Priv (T Mobile) on ATT.

Well, obviously, call 611.
