Thread context: asked whether a phone's Bluetooth can be used to provide Internet to a laptop, and already touched on the hardware side. Below are practical, immediately usable alternatives and steps (Android and iPhone) that work without adding extra software, plus short troubleshooting tips.

If the laptop has Wi‑Fi, the simplest method is to make the phone into a Wi‑Fi hotspot. On most Android phones: Settings -> Network & internet -> Hotspot & tethering -> Wi‑Fi hotspot (set SSID and password, then enable). On iPhone: Settings -> Personal Hotspot -> Allow Others to Join. Then connect from the laptop’s wireless networks list using the hotspot SSID and password. Apple’s Personal Hotspot documentation is a concise reference: Use Personal Hotspot on iPhone.

If a USB connection is acceptable, USB tethering is another reliable option. On Android: connect the phone by USB and enable USB tethering in Settings -> Hotspot & tethering; Windows/macOS will detect a new network interface. On iPhone use Personal Hotspot over USB (you may need to accept the “Trust this computer” prompt and have appropriate drivers on Windows).

Bluetooth tethering is slower and intended for low‑bandwidth use; it also requires Bluetooth on both devices. If Bluetooth is not available on the laptop, Wi‑Fi hotspot or USB tethering are easier workarounds. Quick tips: confirm mobile data and APN settings, disable battery‑saver modes that block tethering, secure the hotspot with WPA2 and a strong password, watch carrier tethering policies and data limits, and keep the phone plugged in while tethering. If the laptop cannot see the hotspot, toggle the phone’s hotspot off/on and restart the laptop’s Wi‑Fi adapter.

Well, if your laptop doesn't have a bluetooth transceiver, then no, you can't. You can purchase a USB bluetooth device (I use one on my workstation for Skype access) for less than $50 USD.
