Blackberry Hotspot (Fido) connecting to iPad mini but nothing works HELP!

Please someone help! I have looked online everywhere and feel like I've tried everything I can find.... I upgraded my BB 9790 to OS 7.1 specifically for the mobile hotspot and am really bummed I can't get it to work with my iPad Mini. The iPad is able to detect the hotspot and I am actually able to connect to it but when I try to use the browser or anything on my iPad, it doesn't work. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

call fido to have tethering enabled

It is enabled

Ok so they finally decided to just reset my network... I did a BB battery pull and a soft reset on the iPad and that seems to have done the trick

glad that worked. I find that with fido, even though a service says its there, it's not until you call and complain. had to do that just recently for my voicemail. it was in my plan description, but wasn't functional.
