Use Grameenphone Modem in Ubuntu 10.4

Now people are using linux frequently. However, one of the versions of linux is Ubuntu. In Bangladesh, many people use Grameenphone modem for browsing internet. I shared my experience about using USSD in windows, where you do not have to insert SIM into your handset to know the balance. You can do it here in modem. Now I want to share my experience about using Grameenphone modem in Ubuntu 10.4

For using Grameenphone modem in Ubuntu 10.4, you have to do:

1. Go to System
2. Then choose preference
3. After selecting it, you will find so many options, just select "Network connection".
4. A window will appear, where you will find many options. You have to just click on "Mobile Broadband" option.
5. Now select "Add" button, which is at the right side.
6. A window will appear where heading is "Set up a Mobile Broadband connection".
7. Below this window, you have to select "HUAWEI Technologies HUAWEI Mobile", then click on "Forward" button.
8. Now select your country "Bangladesh". If you are living in any other country, select that one.
9. Select your service provider eg. Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink, Warid. Then press "Forward".
10. Select your plan, by default it is shown "web", just select "web" and go forward.
11. Then "apply" it and restart modem. Take your modem out of your pc/laptop and then again insert by doing nothing. You will see a network sign is connecting automatically. If it is sucessful, then you will be notified.

NOTE: YOU CAN USE ANY SIM LIKE GRAMEENPHONE, ROBI, BANGLALINK, WARID SIM HERE, BY SELECTIG INDIVIDUALLY. FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU FOLLOWED THE UPPER PROCEDURE FOR GRAMEENPHONE, AND IF YOU WANT TO USE ROBI, THEN YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PREVIOUS PROCEDURE BUT YOU HAVE TO SELECT ROBI AS YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER. IF YOU WANT TO USE WARID, THEN YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THEM AGAIN AND YOU HAVE TO SELECT WARID AS YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER. WHEN YOU WILL CONNECT YOUR MODEM, IT WILL CONNECT TO THE INTERNET AUTOMATICALLY.

HOPEFULLY IT WILL WORK FOR YOU. IF YOU FIND ANY PROBLEM, LET ME KNOW, I WILL TRY MY BEST TO HELP YOU, THOUGH I AM ONLY A USER, NOT SPECIALIST.

BEST OF LUCK.
