Hi sabah122,


You started from a great resource: How to set up a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad

It does mention: "If you don't see the option for Personal Hotspot, contact your carrier to make sure that you can use Personal Hotspot with your plan."


However, for help with locating your cellular settings, view the information below found in the article here: Use cellular data on your iPhone or iPad


"Turn cellular data on or off 


To turn cellular data on or off, go to Settings, then tap Cellular or Mobile Data. If you're using an iPad, you might see Settings > Cellular Data.

An iPhone screen showing cellular data settings 

Depending on your carrier and device, you might have additional options listed under Cellular Data Options:

  • Enable LTE, 4G, or 3G: You can select what type of network connection to use for voice and data. Learn more about these options. Learn about data options with 5G on your iPhone or iPad.
  • Turn Voice Roaming on or off: With CDMA networks, you can turn off Voice Roaming to avoid charges from using other carriers' networks.
  • Turn Data Roaming on or off: When you're traveling internationally, you can turn off data roaming to avoid roaming charges. If you have an international data plan, you may need to keep Data Roaming on. Learn more about traveling internationally with your iPhone or iPad."


If you continue to have an issue, ensure you're running the latest iOS available for your iPhone and continue with the article below.


Update your iPhone or iPad


If you see No Service, Searching, or SOS on your iPhone or iPad


Cheers.
