    Yes, this is called tethering. You can do it either wirelessly with Bluetooth or with a USB connection, depending on the types of phone and computer you have.

    If you have Windows, go to the bottom right-hand corner where you should see a dot and a series of curves. Click on that and choose your network and enter your password.

    Check your data balance and then retry. If the problem persists, then it might be a network connection problem. Wait for some time and then reconnect.
