I dont think verizon can just see it. You can turn it on, not sure how you do it with gummy, but basically you need to go to settings - wireless tether and configure it with a password - then you switch it on an connect to it, proving that password on the connecting device.
if it's the switch on you're looking for, you can put the wireless tether shortcut in the dropdown bar toggles, then just click it on after you've set the password for it.
