Sorry- I should have clarified. I miss tethering because I am resistant to paying my carrier an additional monthly charge to use my iPhone 5 as a hotspot. Is there a way around this without a jailbreak?

Check out this article. FCC has recently held that restrictions on tethering are illegal. Even though Verizon was the target here, the ruling should apply to all carriers. So it may be that you wrongly assume your carrier doesn't permit you to tether. You should double check as their policy may have changed. I can easily tether with my Verizon Droid Bionic.
