4. See the modem port . then write

shamal@shamal-desktop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

5. Then put the following codes on gedit, and save it.

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = AT&F
Init2 = AT E0 V1 &D2 &C1 &S0 S0=0 +dr=1
Init3 = AT+IFC=2,2;+CVHU=1
Init4 = ATS7=60+DS=3,0;&K3
Init5 = AT+CGDCONT=,,”gpinternet”
Init6 = ATS0=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Nokia GSM Phone USB Modem
Phone = *99#
Username = any
Password = any
Stupid Mode = 1

6. Then dial.

shamal@shamal-desktop:~$ sudo wvdial

7. For disconnect press Ctrl+C

This is enough for any Nokia Edge/Gprs modem. And also same for Siemens/Motorola. But I am not sure about other mobiles(try yourself). This is also same for other Linux distributions.
