Posting info from this month's LFY (with corrections and modifications):
Plug the modem (data card?) into the usb port and do

dmesg | grep ttyUSB

and check the name of the device the modem attaches to - ttyUSB0, whatever. Then open the /etc/wvdial.conf file in a text editor using

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

Now add the following lines to the file

[Dialer Defaults]Modem = your_device_nameBaud = 115200Set Volume = 0Init1 = ATZPhone = #777Username = your_phone_numberPassword = your_phone_numberAsk Password = 0Dial Command = ATDTStupid Mode = 1Compuserve = 0Idle Seconds = 300ISDN = 0Auto DNS = 1

Replace you_phone_number with your mobile number, and your_device_name with /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 or whatever name you find.
Save the file.
You can now dial using the

wvdial

command.

Thanks for Your replayNow if i do the above stepsWhat about VOICE AND SMSwill they also workPlease reply soon

What do you mean when you ask if voice and sms will work? Get a ubuntu live cd and try to connect to the internet using the above info. I don't think it would take more than five minutes to do it. And that will probably clarify your doubts because I have absolutely no idea of what you are referring to.
