Like the other members have said, you will need to be a pay monthly customer.


If you are a pay monthly customer and you are still not seeing the Personal Hotspot option in Settings. Then this maybe that you are on an old tariff. Tariffs since around 2011 (I think it was) include Tethering.

 

I made a video guide that shows how to tether/personal hotspot the iPad with your iPhone. Although the guide was made with iOS 6, it's the same for iOS 7. Here's the link to it:

Hi.

You need to be a pay monthly customer.

If so turn on the hotspot on your iPhones settings.

You may need to ring O2 on 202 to enable tethering.

A recent thread here http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Apple-iOS-Devices-iPhone-iPad/How-to-turn-on-tethering-on-iPhone-5s/td-...
There is a search box at the top right of the forum which may be helpful to you in future.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

Unless you seem a hotspot option in your main settings menu then you'll be unable to do this.

 

Why O2 limit this to pay monthly customers only though I don't know, data is data.
