Let's ensure you have a full use of of your personal hotspot. What other devices are being used? Is there Wi-Fi ability turned on? Is bluetooth currently on with your iPhone?

My Dad, sister, and I all have iPhone5S.  Theirs worked, mine didn't.  I got the "Discoverable" message, but other devices didn't see it.  Also, in the settings, theirs would say "Personal Hotspot   Off >".  Mine didn't have the "Off".  We all had the same 9-character password.  I changed mine to an 8-character code and it works now.  Mine is the main phone on the account, which we recently upgraded with the hotspot capability.  No idea why their 9-character codes work and mine doesn't.
