Nov 15, 2013 3:35 PM in response to ckuanby Smart_imp,Thats actually what I was trying to do. I managed to connect via a friends i phone to collect e-mail under his guidence the other day, and I was trying to replicate that with may own phone.
I thought I had to pair the phone (successful)
Connect to the phone (where I got the Message) hence I got no further
Turn on Hotspot
and bingo I could connect the mac to collect my mail via the phone thus consigning my phone dongle to the scrapyard.....

You do not create the connection from the phone as you might expect.
Once the phone is paired, The connection needs to be established in Network settings from the Mac, Highlight Bluetooth PAN in network settings and click connect.
Once the connection is established and the button turns green, you can then browse internet, collect mail etc via your phone.
Once proven you can have a ceremoninal burning of the USB dongle you've come to love and hate for your connections............ Fact is you only need one apple device with a SIM and the others connect via personal hotspot. So obvious after the event its a "DOH" moment. £15 a month saved on the USB Dongle. wish I'd discovered it 4 years ago..........
