This utility solved the AT&T hotspot problem on my unlocked 950 XL Windows Phone that results in the "It seems like you are trying to use data, but don't have a data package..." message.
There are multiple reports online with AT&T users having this issue with the 950 XL. Be warned that this software is for advanced users and you can really mess things up if you don't know what you are doing!
The steps below are what fixed it for me:
1. Download the Interop Tools for Windows 10 Mobile and follow the instructions to get it installed: http://www.windowscentral.com/interop-tools-windows-10-mobile
2. Edit the registry settings as noted by user imbushuo Wang on the Windows Central forums here: http://forums.windowscentral.com/microsoft-lumia-950-xl/414723-mobile-hotspot-tethering-950xl.html
