If cellular data isn't on. Turn it on and the personal hotspot link will appear. But won't work unless you've paid for it. Sorry, I realized I didn't say to do that in my last message.

First of all this is called Internet tethering and it's not included in all plans. You might have to pay for it. Go to Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data, look under “Internet Tethering” for APN, and fill in an access point name. The personal hotspot link will be there but if it's not on your plan it won't work. Call AT&T about it.

After you go into settings, go to general. You should find it there.

I don't have it either. Here in the US, if you have an iPhone, you must have a data plan.

Do you have a data plan? That's the only reason I can think of why you don't have that option.

This only works if your carrier does not charge extra for this feature. Such as AT&T
