Hello LUG, I'm currently out testing the options our telcos are offering
Bought a UTL card which right after activation, wouldn't work. I asked for the usual APN, number to dial as I use the network manager or wvdial as a backup. I had the usual, "You don't need the settings, they will come automatically when you double click" AND ". . . are you sure that the modem is compatible with your OS?" the minute the lady realised that I was using Linux. After I asked that they simply insert the simcard into one of their own dongles and windows machines, test it, there was still no dice. After almost 24hours including 5 or so hours of me sitting at the counter while trouble shooting, the resident tech found that the password I had chosen, had not been recorded in the system. Now the card works fine in a UTL dongle on both their windows systems and my Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. Problem is, I'm still getting the original failure from network manager and "exit code 16, a modem hang up the phone" from wvdial when using the simcard in my own "Un-locked modems" and a "Sim card registration failed" when I insert it in my phone. Speeds seemed good while I had a UTL dongle working on my system in the shop, would be a shame for this subsription to go to waste, any ideas or suggestions guys, and *none* that include buying a UTL dongle?
