    if mobile hotspot is not available under your settings then try updating your software then you will have the hot spot option on your device.

    Unless you "purchased" your phone from US Cellular and are on prepaid..in which case US cellular blocks these features entirely with no option to even purchase the feature. BEWARE: when you buy a phone from US Cellular outright you still do not own the phone..US cellular sells you data and then controlls its use..supposedly there are laws preventing this but they get away with it. Nothing can be done!
