personal hotspot

recently I bought a used iPhone 13 pro max in a very good shape... but it has a problem, the personal hotspot is grayed out in the control center and doesn't exist in the settings. I tried resetting it but it didn't work

Contact your cellular provider to be certain that the hotspot option is part of your contract and that it is properly provisioned.
