Before an update please fully back up your iphone.

Connect your phone to itunes run and update


Once your phone has been fully updated

 Locate Settings --> Personla Hotspot "Turn it ON"

Its pretty straight forward from there on.
You need to have a tethering plan from your wireless provider.  This incurs an additional monthly cost beyond that of the regular data plan that you already have.
