TL;DR
The operators mentioned most often are Magti and Georgian Beeline. If you also need data in Armenia, it’s practical to enable roaming and buy a package in the Magti app while still in Tbilisi; if Personal Hotspot is missing on iPhone with Beeline, you usually need to check and enter the carrier APN settings.
If you’re heading from Tbilisi to Yerevan, it’s better to enable Magti roaming while you’re still in Tbilisi and purchase the data package in the app in advance, so your mobile internet keeps working once you reach Armenia.
On an iPhone with a Georgian Beeline SIM, a missing Personal Hotspot button usually means the access point settings are incomplete. In that case, you need the correct Beeline APN and should enter it in the mobile network settings.
If your main goal is getting as much mobile data as possible for the lowest cost in Georgia, the discussion suggests comparing Georgian Beeline and Magti first, with Beeline specifically considered as a budget-focused data SIM option.
