Personal Hotspot missing on iPhone 5 after iOS 6.01

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.01 (had to apply a smaller update before this), I have now lost my Personal Hotspot setting.


Have restored twice from iCloud and from iTunes to factory defaults, but no luck.


I am on Vodafone UK contractions Vodafone swear that I still have tethering active on my account.


Anyone else experienced this?

I found that the network information was erased. I simply typed in the missing APN in cellular data and got the personal hotspot link back. The link used was Settings --> General -->Cellular--> Cellular Data Network


This way all the old passwords for wi-fi connections remain intact.


The alternate way is to Reset cellular settings but this way all store wi-fi passwords will be erased.
