Do you have the HotSpot feature available with your cellular service plan? If you are not sure then check with your carrier. This is important because if the HotSpot feature is not activated by your carrier then nothing will work.

Open Settings on your iPhone and select Personal Hotspot. Simply turn this feature ON. If you do not see Personal HotSpot in your settings app then it is not available to you from your carrier.
