IOS UPDATES USING HOTSPOT

We live remote in Alaska and only have access to an ATT tower. When we had iPhone 6s we could hotspot from one phone and do updates. Now with the 12 we cannot do this. I can still use this process to update my iPad. What can we do? We’d have to drive a 100 miles to find a business hotspot.
