Connect a Mobile to the Internet Via Bluetooth
A cell phone can connect to the Internet via the cell phone provider network or through a Bluetooth connection. These connections connect the cell phone to the wide area network (WAN). If a cell phone is Bluetooth-enabled, no connectivity hardware is required. Based on the cell phone model, Internet connection via Bluetooth will differ.

2. Detect your laptop or mobile phone via Bluetooth and connect to it.
3. Select "Dialup Networking" in the "Partnership Settings." Select "Add a New Modem" in the "Connections" menu and choose "Bluetooth" as the connectivity option. Select the newly added laptop or mobile phone to connect to.
