Personal Hotspot

I have an iPad without mobile data, and want to use my iPhone as a personal hotspot.

I have the latest software on both, and my wife’s iPad can be used for providing the hotspot, but my iPhone can’t.

I open settings then tap on my iPhone and I get Remote Hotspot Failure, Unable to start personal hotspot “ My iphone”, click on ok and nothing happens.

Any help in this matter would be much appreciated as I’m in a field camping with no internet on my iPad

iPhone 8 Plus

Not sure, where do I find that out. Both our iPhones are sim only no contract.

You find out by contacting your carrier. It may be possible to look up the information in your account on your carrier's website but, I suspect calling them will be easier in this case.
