iphone hotspot to bb problem?

ok I have an iphone as my primary phone but I also need bbm, so i bought a 9780 got bbm working on wifi and android hotspots, however, when i use my iphone 5 as a hotspot bbm/internet just wont work! i've looked all over this forum and google (up to page 8 lol) has anybody ever had this problem? if so how did you fix it? sorry im new to the whole blackberry world.

p.s. my iphone 5 and the android i've used as hotspot have the same data plan. 2.5gb of tether.

thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums. If you haven't already, please update your profile. That info is very useful when troubleshooting!

I am not sure how you got BBM working over hotspot... BBM on a 9780 demands an active BIS plan associated with the device's PIN. That said, if the 9780 isn't associated with a BIS plan, no amount of data would make BBM work.

:huh:
