iPhone Personal Hot Spot Missing today??

[ncaverync]

I went to use my iPhone as a hot spot this morning and the "choice" is no longer on my iPhone!  Am I missing something?  I am going to "Settings" and I don't see it there anymore as an option!  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the assistance!  Any help is appreciated.

You go to settings, and then general and choose network.  Hotspot is in there.

You need to make sure the Hot Spot is set up on the phone.

1. From the home screen, select Settings.
   
2. Select General.
   
3. Select Network.
   
4. Select Set Up Personal Hotspot.
   
5. The Personal Hotspot activation process may take 1-2 minutes.
   
6. Once the activation process is complete, select Personal Hotspot.
   
7. Verify Personal HotSpot is enabled.
   Drag the Personal HotSpot switch to ON to enable.
   
8. If prompted, select the appropriate setting.
   For USB tethered connections, iTunes must be installed on the computer. 

   Turn on Wi-Fi

   Personal HotSpot available over Bluetooth, USB, and Wifi

   Bluetooth and USB only

   Personal Hotspot available over Bluetooth and USB only

   
9. The Personal HotSpot name will be displayed within quotes beneath the Personal HotSpot switch.
   e.g. Other users can look for your shared network using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth under the name displayed in quotes (e.g. 15-4-1391).
   
10. The Wi-Fi Password will be displayed in the Wi-Fi password field.
    To change the password, select the Wi-Fi Password field.
    
11. Enter/edit the Wi-Fi password then select Done.
    The Wi-Fi password must contain at least eight characters.
