Does your cellular provider have a tethering (HotSpot) option available?
Have you subcribed to a tethering plan?

The Hotspot (tethering) option that not all cellular companies provide, and if they do provide they sometimes charge extra for that option. You would need to check with them to determine if your account has been provisioned to include it.
