Mount Mobile Phones on Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat (10.10) and get "Connected" to INTERNET :)

Hi folks, I would just like to share how easy it is to setup Internet connection via your mobile phone on your laptop. It's very easy, and more over you don't need Nokia PC Suite or Samsung PC studio as such. Just follow the steps below and you are done:

1. Connect your Phone via data cable.
2. Right Click on Network Applet(Usually,on your right hand top corner where you find the system time and sound icons.


3. Choose on "Enable Mobile Broadband Connection"

4. Now "left click" on the network applet and you will see a notification which reads as "New Mobile Broadband Connection", now click on it.

5. You will get a dialog pop up, which will ask you for the Country, choose whichever is applicable, click Forward.

6. Next, it will ask you for the Mobile Service Provider,choose your mobile service provider, click Forward.

7. Next, in "Choose your Billing Plan" dialog, select (You will see that it's "default" initially) "My Plan is not listed..", in the next section of APN text box type in the access point name (Contact your Mobile Customer Care and ask for the name of the Access Point Name), click forward and you're done!!!, the network applet will do its job and you are connected to the Internet.

Note: For Reliance GPRS India it's type in "rcomnet" (without quotes) in the APN Text box and for Airtel INDIA it's "airtelfun.com" (without quotes).

Enjoy, hope it works. Also note that it's the same procedure for OpenSuSe 11.3 users.

 If you don't find this method working try "To mount Nokia Phones on Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat" and start over from Step 1 of "Mount Mobile Phones on Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat (10.10) and get "Connected" to INTERNET :)",you must be able to browse the Internet.
