Setting up the Spanish Yoigo card for GPRS internet connection

I've just bought a Spanish Yoigo sim card to allow me to connect to the internet via a Bluetooth phone. The deal is 1.5 Euros a day approx for unlimited connection. What few instructions there are, are in Spanish, and only relate to getting the phone connected. For information:-
To get the correct settings into your phone, send an SMS with the word 'TODO' to 500. With some phones that's all you need to do for the settings to be texted back and made available for automatic install. With other phones, you get a message back in Spanish that tells you to send another text with the model of the phone to 500. In my case, a Nokia 6310i, I sent '6310i' to 500 and back came a text recognising that it was the Nokia with all the settings in place - all I had to do was press 'Save' and the job was done.
Now, that's as far as I have gone. When I try to connect to the internet at the phone level, it says that it is connecting, then says that connection was lost with no connection whatsoever. It could be a local issue here - not everywhere has a working GPRS service.
What I don't know, maybe someone can help, is how to set up the laptop to communicate via Bluetooth. Presumably I have to go to Connections and start a new connection but I have no idea what settings to put in place. Maybe someone can tell me?
