The PPP session is with the adapter, not the provider. You usually want to disable anything "clever" as they rarely cope with this correctly. It shouldn't make a difference which country if it's the same adapter and firmware. For a different huawei card I'm using this in /etc/ppp/peers/3g debug /dev/cuaU0 921600 0.0.0.0:10.99.1.2 defaultroute noipdefault user x crtscts persist deflate 0 refuse-pap refuse-chap noauth noipdefault noccp novj novjccomp nopcomp connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/3g.chat' and this in /etc/ppp/peers/3g.chat TIMEOUT 120 ABORT "BUSY" ABORT "ERROR" ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "VOICE" ABORT "NO DIALTONE" "" ATZ OK ATD*99# CONNECT \c and in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (possibly unused) # client server secret IP addresses x * blah * I already have the phone provider's APN programmed into context 1 so I can just use ATD*99# and skip the AT+CGDCONT line, or you can set it yourself like in dcoppa's post. If the APN isn't already setup and you aren't certain about which one to use, then it's probably useful to connect with the provider's normal software on a Windows/MacOS machine and close the connection, then open a terminal to the serial port of the device (putty can do serial if you're on a newer version of Windows with no built-in terminal software) and type "AT+CGDCONT?" to see how the contexts are setup.
