I hate to admit my ignorance, but I can't follow your instructions. If I go to Settings, General, I don't see Cellular as a category in General.

If I go to Settings, Cellular, I don't see Cellular Network as a category.

If I ever get to scroll down to internet tethering, what is the APN number and where do I find it?

Thanks for any help!

I have this same issue with the personal hotspot wheel keeps spinning so I am unable to use my data. I have an iPhone 4s and did try this and my phone does not have the same options once I go into cellular data network i have no options for Internet tethering or anything to do with the Apn. I have tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I have also tried to turn the airplane mode on for 30sec and also have tried turning off my cellular data and turnig it back on..i was curious to see if you had any other solutions available? Or any other options to try? It would be rly appreciated
