Today I am highly glad. Because now I am able to use GPRS grameen phone internet connection via my nokia 3500c and KONKA D165 mobile at my Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy heron ).
I am tried to do it for many days and finally able to do it with the help of various online forums, blog sites and web sites.
To do it first I connect my Nokia mobile phone with DKE-2 USB cable. Then I test whether Ubuntu recognize my phone as modem.
To test it I open the terminal and write lsusb
Now I get the following output
khaled@perilous:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0421:0061 Nokia Mobile Phones
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
khaled@perilous:~$
This is on my computer, may vary with PC to PC…
Now I note the line in which NOkia Mobile Phones is written…it has two number one is 0421 & other is 0061…I take these numbers as 0x421 & 0x061
0421 is the Vendor ID & 0061 is the Product ID
Now I enter this comand.
sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x(vid) product=0x(pid)
eg, in my case::: sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0×421 product=0×061
Now enter this command
wvdialconf create
I got a long output which was
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
Port Scan: S0 S1 S2 S3
WvModem: Cannot get information for serial port.

Found an USB modem on /dev/ttyACM0.
Modem configuration written to create.
ttyACM0: Speed 460800; init “ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0″
NOw.. notice the output says that there is a modem at /dev/ttyACM0 & max speed is 460800
now enter this command
sudo wvdialconf
now enter this command
sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
A file will open in text editor. Now delete all the content of the file and paste the following in it, save it and close the file.
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3=AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”gpinternet”
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = *99#
ISDN = 0
Username = gp
Password = gp
Baud = 460800
Or you can do it by changing the following data without deleting all the contents-
1. Modem=Modem’s address that you get by entering the command wvdialconf create (eg. /dev/ttyACM0)
2. Modem type= type of your modem that you get by entering the commandwvdialconf create (eg. USB Modem)
3. Baud= maximum speed of your modem that you get by entering the commandwvdialconf create (eg. 460800)
Now enter the command
wvdial
If any problem with the above command then enter the following command
sudo wvdial
Now you are connected with the internet. To disconnected press ctrl+c.
warning: You must opened the terminal when you are in the internet. If you close the terminal then line connection will be disconnected.
Note: I test this for Nokia 3500c and KONKA D165 with Ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron for Grameen phone service. You may able to use this for other mobile phones that has built in modem.
For other service providers you can get help from-
