Bluetooth,Laptop and Mobile phone

I apologise in advance if my question is blatantly stupid but forgive a
pensioner lady for asking ?

I have sucessfully installed on my laptop and 'paired' a Bluetooth adaptor
with my mobile phone which appear to be working ok and 'talking ' to each
other. I want to use my mobile phone to connect laptop to internet but here
am stuck. I need to set up a connection of some kind but cannot find the
right information to tell me how, or maybe I am not asking the right
questions ? Could anyone advise or point me in the right direction ?
TIA

You will be sucessful - what you now need is a data package from your
cel phone company - in canada unlimited data is about $50 a monthe -
with my sony ericsson i get about the same as a 43 Kbaud modem - not
fast but truly wireless
