Maybe I am out of luck and none of my phones can work with tethered devices.

Well ptsenter said the Generic answer is yes. A lot of phone/android bluetooth related tethering has been a thorn in many users sides. It wasn't very likely that it'd work very simply for you. If you look on the internet for forums created for your particular smart phone, you'll prob find guides for rooting the phone. Doing so enables you to use as a wifi connection using a tethering program. Rooting is dancing with your phones hidden settings, which has a chance to mess your phone up if you're not thorough on following the process. I was able to do it on my phone without many steps luckily, each phone is different per community support. This is the most likely way you'll get free wifi to any device.
Feel free to surf a lot of forums for tips/ideas on getting bluetooth tethering working, as ptsenter said, some devices are capable. But as I stated, it hasn't been an easy route for many people, so you may have to search harder.
Whichever option you choose, make sure to read a lot before implementing any ideas/suggestions. You'd be surprised what you'd learn if you spend a day reading forums. Yes tedious and boring at times, but ridiculously informative in most cases.
Good luck!
