Yes, it is locked to a carrier but that was not supposed to be a problem. Even when a carrier was not detected the portable hotspot broadcast SSID. After tapping "Settings > Wireless & networks > Tethering & portable hotspot" the message "Activating..." stucks and WiFi does not broadcast SSID.
Contact your Carrier/Network as it could be a network restriction, I know here in the USA carriers locked certain features.
I´ve contacted the Network Carrier (Claro). They confirmed there is no restriction regarding the WiFi Hotspot functionality. This week I noticed twice WiFi connectivity power loss, other devices on the same WLAN doesn´t. I will try PC Companion restart before sending it to the Tech Support.
