A temporary fix posted on the Android Central forums might help you:

"Go into settings put the date/calendar on manual and click it back a month to May. It will work now. Verizon had Samsung program in a stop date of May 31st before they extended the free hot spot to June 15th. Verizon is working on a permanent solution but this will work in the mean time."

There are follow-up posts on Android Central which mention possible side consequences of adjusting the date.  (source)
