Today I have configured the CDMA USB modem (HUWAEI EC325) provided by citycell with their zoom connection to use in my linux distro (Mandriva Spring 2007) – Heres how to-
Attach the modem with your pc/laptop
1. check if the USB device is detected properly
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
you will get some output like this
…..
…..
T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=05 Cnt=02 Dev#= 4 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.01 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=16 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=12d1 ProdID=1001 Rev= 0.00
S: Manufacturer=Huawei Technologies
S: Product=Huawei Mobile
S: SerialNumber=HUAWEI EC3X1
C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr=100mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=pl2303
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 16 Ivl=128ms
E: Ad=8a(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=0b(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=pl2303
E: Ad=83(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=06(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
…..
…..
2. Now probe for this USB device
modprobe usbserial vendor=0×12d1 product=0×1001
3. Now check with dmesg if it has been successfully probed
dmesg
you will get some output like this
[ 2315.412106] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial
[ 2315.412508] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic
[ 2315.461938] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic

[ 2315.480691] usb 2-6: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB1
4. Now configure your wvdial.conf as shown here.
vi /etc/wvdial.conf
[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 230400
SetVolume = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer cdma]
Username = waps
Password = waps
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
Inherits = Modem0
Now save this file
You are done!!
Now you can connect to internet by applying the following command in shell
wvdial cdma
Thats it!

Few days back I wrote about Zoom’s ugly tariff here: http://omi.net.bd/?p=170 I don’t know how come you are affording it. Can you please share some experience about the service?
hasin // September 6, 2007 at 5:34 pm |
No Omi, You are wrong.
I have been using GP’s EDGE from the very first. The service drastically varies from location to location. In Shamoli these days I get around 2-4killo byte/s
I need a good connection to keep myself alive – so finally I’d switched to zoom and yeah, I am happy with almost 17killo byte/s
For the time being Citycell providing much better service than GP’s EDGE

Sakib Al Mahmud // September 6, 2007 at 9:04 pm |
Nice post but I am totally upset to use wireless connection and I have an bad experience about it and I just waste my papa’s money, nothing else.
I used Banglalink’s GPRS service. They told me on average I got 47 kbps. Whereas I got 2 to 3 kbps. Sometimes I got 2 or 4 bytes. Can you imagine? And also on customer care I was talking about that… they tried to miss guide me about internet speed and they also understand they couldn’t managed me. After that I terminated my BL SIM. And promised that, never ever I use in our countries wireless connecteion. Because, they know only money and quietly nonsense about customer service. Right?
Now I got 30 kbps all time and sometimes it corss 47 kbps and on rare case I got 10 kbps. oh
Better, talk with ZIP and you have to invest 15000 tk (for setup everything) and per month 1500 tk. But, on area based they some strick terms. Maybe you get better service from citycell and other services.
Inshallah, In future I’ll setup my own internet connection…no sharing ….
TRIVUz // September 6, 2007 at 9:50 pm |
Zip isn’t a good choice Sakib. I’d Zip lin and its really cool for first 2/3 month. Then it sucks! I heard same thing happened to some of my friends too… better use BOL or AGNI…
Thanks a lot Hasin bhai…. I will change my GP net… GP service getting very bad day by day…Seems citycell is good.. but there is a very bad thing is b/w limitation… whatsoever… if anybody wanna use citycell this article helps lot… so good job
Thanks~
Rajputro // September 9, 2007 at 7:00 pm |
Thanks hasin bhai for the useful post. Since we both live in the same area, you can easily understand my GP edge experience.
I think I should switch to zoom too. Can you write some tips about switching?
That’d of great help.
Saidur Rahman // September 12, 2007 at 12:12 pm |
Hasin bhai,
In which package you get the 17killo byte/s. And do you get this speed always or this is the average speed?
HungryCoder // September 16, 2007 at 12:18 pm |
hasin vy, congrats for new modem.
actually you people are saying that GP EDGE service is going down. I am also another victim. they are increasing their customer without increasing their quaility. I sent some feedback on newspaper. but all newspaper are their “Dalal”. they did not publish those.
but i still think both citycell & GP are vampire as per last decade. gp’s EDGE service quality decreased day by day. and I am quite sure same will happen to citycell within very short time. and their offer is really funny.how can I measure how much data i am transferring.from last week each day I download at least 500MB using GP, yep believe me. so what will be my bill in citycell for this?rubbish.
but still i think as their speed is good now, it can be a good temporary solution who can afford it;).

Roobon // October 1, 2007 at 3:35 pm |
Thanks Hasin vi and all for your discussion about internet speed. I wanted to get a Zoom connection. The modem is very costly for me. My brother is in citycell. He suggested me to wait. The cost will be deducted to 3000/- . I am waiting for that. Recently Dhaka phone launched in Dhaka City area. They are giving internet line with their connection. A dhakaphone connection with a set they charge 2500/- then 500/- for internet connection. I talked with them about their speed. They said they will give 230kbps and no use no bill option. I am interested. I did a query for Babar road. They said dts tower is not yet set up in Mohammadpur area. That’s why I will not get internet facility right now. Again I am waiting …

thanx guys.recently i got a laptop.so i m thinking 2 use gp or citycell’ intrenet connection but i m confused.some of my frds suggested 2 use gp again some suggested citycell.i dont know which one is better.urs comment gave me an idea.i m also 4m shamoly(p c culture).so can u really suggest me which one is better.
The Unknown One // October 20, 2007 at 4:59 am |
Well, I am from Wari, Dhaka. I have been using GP Edge for quite some time. As Hasin bhai posted, the speed of Edge varies from one place to other.
And, like others I would say, the service of GP has been deteriorating drastically, at least in perspective of the ISP service.
I use both, Desktop & Laptop in my home. I generally use Laptop for my emergency online uses, or sometimes when I need to stay online for at least 20hrs at a stretch. Though previously it worked with GP, but these days it’s even hardly possible. Worse, during midnight, sometimes it’s not even possible to get connected.
As I am writing these, I am currently using the GP Edge, and am having a really hard time to even browse the simple websites, let alone do anything else. If it continues like these, the future does not look so promising for GP.
Minhaz // October 27, 2007 at 2:36 am |
i have tested another service provided by “Global Online Services Limited” they use citycell network but provides their own Bandwidth.
i got 64kbps where citycell network is very poor and got 136kbps where citycell has full network.
Price one time 1000/- and monthly 1300/-
if you interested to avail this service you can contact with Global Online or with me.
Minhaz // October 27, 2007 at 2:38 am |
sorry installation charge is 10,000/-
and monthly charge is 1300/-

Ashis // January 25, 2008 at 3:55 pm |
Hi,
I am using Anik’s Edge Modem (with GP’s unlimited package P2) for the last six months in Windows smooth and steady and am satisfied with the service.
Now want to configure the modem to work in Linux (not Ubuntu).
I did many things like ‘wvdial’, but it can’t detect my modem. When I plug in the modem, it connects in /dev/ttyUSB0. I tried to configure KPPP, it gets the modem, but the ‘initializing the modem’ screen never ends. I read a blog where (I guess ’salahuddin bhai’ mentioned about ‘udev’), what actually he mentioned was not clear to me. So I am quite at a loss. What to do, can you help me please?

i tried the network-config utility but it only has for ttys and ttyacm (i think) but definately no usb. How can i add the usb port and use the modem on it…
Tanx in advance

Md. Habib Ullah Bahar // May 3, 2008 at 10:22 am |
Hi,
Thanks Hasiv vai, using your guide to use citycell zoom, I have connected the Mobidata USB EDGE modem in Linux.
Here’s what I did,
1. cat /proc/bus/usb/devices [as told by Hasin vai]
2. Search for the following lines in output:
P: Vendor=10ce ProdID=ea6a Rev= 1.00
S: Manufacturer=Silicon Labs
S: Product=MobiData EDGE USB Modem
3. modprobe usbserial vendor=0×10ce product=0×ea6a
4. dmesg
At the end of the output you will find this:
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic
usbserial_generic 3-2:1.0: generic converter detected
usb 3-2: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core
5. Instead of ttyUSB0, there may be ttyUSB1/ttyUSB2..
6. Now like Hasin vai, I didn’t use wvdial, instead I use KPPP [you will find it in the menu]
7. Click on configure
8. In the Accounts tab, click on new->manual setup
9. Give any connection name, for example ‘GP’
10. add a dial number, “*99***1#”, then OK
11.click on Modem tab
12. new->give a modem name, for example,”Mobidata”
13. Select modem device as “/dev/ttyUSB0″ [or in your case what you find in step4]
14. OK
15 use any name and password for login ID and Password. This has no significance in our case, KPPP requires that.
16. Hit on Connect, you are done
[Using KPPP any dialup modem can be connected.]
Sory for my long comment
Have a nice day.

hi guys anybody 0f you who lives in dhanmondi meena bazar area/road no. 7A area who uses National phone Internet service can you confirm me how much speed you are getting?and is the speed stable or constant meaning is speed goes up and down or stay same always?
and is speed on national phone depends on time of the day?if so when you get more and less speed?
please let me know cause i want to buy a national phone connection .But it costs 3000 taka.So i want to know if its any good.I dont want to buy anything that might prove to be a waste of my money.
I already used GP and teletalk but both are bad and in Dhanmondi too many people are using GP EDGE or other mobile internet service so its very slow speed here.
many thanks.

Bhaia,
I have heard a lot about you. I have a problem and hope you can figure that out. About me: I m studying in Electronics ans communication ENG. at Khulna university and have completed CNAP (Cisco networking academy program). I have somewhat knowledge about linux.
At Home I have tried to share an internet connection on a LAN through the WIN XP’s Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service. My PC is connected to the internet via a Wireless USB EDGE Modem. I have used dynamic IP configuration (DHCP) to the PC’s in the LAN. After sharing the connection, for a few minutes everything works fine. But after that A dialog box appears with the title “Generic host process for Win32 services” and the MODEM gets disconnected, so the internet connection. I have talked to many people but have not found a solution. .I require a steady shared connection at my home in windows platform preferably Win XP.
I use a Mobidata USB EDGE MOdem. Can u tell me how can i install it in linux/unix platform (Preferably ES 4). Because If i can make things work in linux i would stick to that.
Please let me know the solutions for both WIN and LINUX platforms and work things out.
Thanking u.
Ruhu

Hi everybody,
Still mobile companys are playing with customers. I am from S. Korea now. Here internet speed over 2mbs and monthly cost about 20$. Everyday I use skype video chat with my family, they are using GP monthly fixed 1150tk and getting unlimited and speed 460kbs that is top most. You can test your speed using this website. http://us.mcafee.com/root/speedometer/test_0600.asp
To get high speed you have to use 3G mobile set. You can see on nokia website. As I know lowest price of 3G mobile phone is Nokia 5200 model and thats price about 8000tk.
Thank u.

hi,
i have just seen this site and come to know some experience . i am using GP’s explore P2 package in mandriva 2007 discovery with nokia mobile phone using blootooth device. i am in Sylhet. the most astonishing fact is that my download speed has been 20 to 26 kbps since i bought my sim. isn’t it interesting! currently i am downloading mandriva 2009 free dvd(4.3 GB) and it’s almost finished, it took me only three days to complete. i am very pleased with the speed that i am getting. but the main fact is that this mobile phone is my friend’s so i have to buy a edge modem. can anyone tell me which modem i should buy? i tried to configure mobidata edge modem in mandriva one 2009 (in my friend’s PC) but i was not able to configure it. whenever i tried it i saw the message no device found. but the product says it supports mandriva, fedora, and ubuntu. if anyone knows how to configure mobidata in mandriva 2009 please help me.

Hi, Hasin Bhai,
I am a complete Ubuntu Noob! so I am not sure where to enter the first thing you said to do:
1. check if the USB device is detected properly
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
I tried to enter this in Terminal, but it won’t take it. Please help? Thanks!
