Not sure about it let other see.

maybe some wrong value in wvdial conf, what provider is yours?

 

[Cool G5]

I use Airtel Mobile Office.

 

[gary4gar]

#wvdial conf for Airtel Mobile office

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99#
Username = A
Password = B
Stupid Mode = 1

Try using this conf
is the above phone number does not work then try *99***1#

 

[Cool G5]

No Gary it isn't working.
Does it requires to install any pc suite or related software?

I hate when people say not working

so that others can also reply.

 

[Cool G5]

Sorry for that.

I just replaced wvdial content with the one you posted.I also tried changing the dialling number & baud rate, but no success.

Here is what i get,when i dial :

[root@localhost Gaurav]# wvdial

[gary4gar]

the cause for disconnection is

ERROR - 16 The link was terminated by the modem hanging up

means some wrong info in wvdial.conf, thats why modem didn't connect but dunno how to fix this.

 

[vin_king]

1.Connect the mobile via USB cable.

2. Open terminal and type su to become root.

3. It will ask for the root password, type in there.

4. Then Issue this command

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

Phone wud b detected as Modem

5. Then to Edit this file, open it in a Text Editor
Code is

kwrite  /etc/wvdial.conf

When we issued command in point 4, it showed the address of ur phone that in which USB port it has been connected. note it down from there.
"Modem = /dev/***"

6. When Text Editor opens the file, erase everything from there and Paste the following:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0  # <-- Replace it with the reading you got 
Phone = *99#
Username = aa
Password = bbc
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Carrier Check = No

The mOdem has been configured successfully.

To dial the internet conenction type

wvdial

If eerything goes fine it wud say that connected successfully.
Press Ctrl+C to disconnect.
