Lightbulb Howto connect to the Internet with a Nokia N70
Process

Step 1: Plug the data cable into your mobile phone and into your computer. Then see whether it was recognised by the kernel.
tail /var/log/messages
Should result in something like the following output:
localhost kernel: [4295346.417000] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address3
localhost kernel: [4295348.125000] cdc_acm 1-1:1.8: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
localhost kernel: [4295348.133000] usbcore: registered new driver cdc_acm
localhost kernel: [4295348.133000] drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: v0.23:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters
According to this output, the kernel driver being used is cdc-acm (you don't need to know that, but it may be useful for other applications). We can deduce from the second line that linux can see the device at /dev/ttyACM0 - this you will need to know.

Step 2: Configure Ubuntu to be able to communicate with your phone and use it to connect to the Internet.

Install ppp (handles modems and dialing) if it's not installed already:
sudo apt-get install ppp
You will need to create a configuration file that tells Ubuntu how to handle communication with the phone. If you prefer using a graphical text editor, replace "vi" in this and the following steps with "gedit". The files should be empty to start with.
sudo vi /etc/ppp/peers/mobile
Enter the following text:

Code:
debug
noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/mobile"
usepeerdns
/dev/ttyACM0 115200
defaultroute
crtscts
lcp-echo-failure 0
If the /var/log/messages output above showed something other than ttyACM0, substitute that in the above code.

Ubuntu will need to send some commands to your phone to tell it to connect to the Internet. These commands are stored in a chat script, and are sent when you try to connect.
sudo vi /etc/chatscripts/mobile
Enter the following text:

Code:
TIMEOUT 35
ECHO    ON
ABORT   '\nBUSY\r'
ABORT   '\nERROR\r'
ABORT   '\nNO ANSWER\r'
ABORT   '\nNO CARRIER\r'
ABORT   '\nNO DIALTONE\r'
ABORT   '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r'
''      \rAT
OK      'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","INTERNET"'
OK      ATD*99***1#
CONNECT ""
You also need to be registered to use the modem connection. You are probably registered already, but this should take care of it if you're not (using your Ubuntu login name):
sudo adduser your-username-here dialout
If you can connect to the Internet on your phone (without your computer), the configuration scripts above should work. If not, look around in the links given below and see whether you can resolve the problem. The most likely points of failure are the 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","INTERNET"' and ATD*99***1# sections.

Specifically where I have set "INTERNET" above, may well be different in your case. This is the Access Point Name (APN). It can (probably) be found in your phone's settings - I can get to it through the following path on my phone: Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access Points. From there choose the access point you use to connect to the Internet (most probably the first one on the list). One of the settings there is "Access point name". Substitute what it says there where I have put "INTERNET" above.

Step 3: You should now be ready to connect. To dial, use the "pon" command, and to disconnect, use the "poff" command.
pon mobile
poff mobile
Whatever messages are communicated between Ubuntu and your phone, should show up in /var/log/syslog. The easiest way to see what's happening in the process is to open another terminal and use the following command before connecting with the commands above:
tail -f /var/log/syslog
Whatever messages are written to the log, will now be displayed on your terminal "live".


Useful Commands

Code:
tail /var/log/messages
lsusb
pon
poff
tail -f /var/log/syslog

Re: Howto connect to the Internet with a Nokia N70
Hi Ndlovu,
I Used your guide and it works.
The only problem I experienced was that my on-board ethernet also wanted to use the connection.
It then disabled my ethernet cards, because I dont have a home lan setup.

Regards

Re: Howto connect to the Internet with a Nokia N70
Hello.

Firstly thanks for the guide it was very useful, but I do have a problem with my connection that I thought someone might be able to help with.

I followed the instruction to the note but when I go "pon mobile" I get the following from /var/log/messages:

Im thinking its a problem with maybe my service provider - I can connect to the internet normally with my phone browser. Any help would be great!

Re: Howto connect to the Internet with a Nokia N70
Hello!

Sorry about this I reread your instructions and found my access point was wrong.. This fixed the connection problem but I had to stop my other network interfaces using /etc/init.d/networking stop to get the routes to work correctly.

Thank you so much!

Re: Howto connect to the Internet with a Nokia N70
Hi,
I also have an N70 and I've been trying for several hours to sync it with the addressbook on my (K)ubuntu box, first with Kitchensync and Kontact in KDE, then with Multisync (Opensync) via msynctool and Evolution in Gnome, but couldn't get any result. In KDE the sync won't find my phone, while in Gnome I managed to turn the phone in Sync mode via bluetooth, but then nothing happens.
I was wondering if anyone managed to find out how to complete the sync in Ubuntu with this phone or with other similar phones and if you have some suggestions about this
Thanks in advance!

Re: Howto connect to the Internet with a Nokia N70
Hi Ndlovu

Thanx for your tutorial. I'm getting far, but not completely there.
I have a Vodafone account. The output below is coming from a script that adds 'noccd' to /etc/ppp/peers/mobile, but is identical to your script besides that.

It seems, that without a good reason the connection is terminated. Everyting goes fine until then. I can see the connection briefly on my phone's connections' tab.

Any help would be appreciated,
Kind regards,
Arjan

Re: Howto connect to the Internet with a Nokia N70
I did the same thing with wvdial, here is my wvdial.conf, all what i've done is edit it as following.
Code:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","cmwap"
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99***1#
Password = B
Username = A
Stupid Mode = 1
what you need to modify is just "cmwap" to your own access point provided by your SP. After this, just type
Code:
sudo wvdial
Enjoy!

Re: Howto connect to the Internet with a Nokia N70
Hello morngrar,

You need to replace "Tele2 GPRS modem" with your APN. If you are a swedish Tele2 customer your APN is internet.tele2.se.

Good luck,
ollesbrorsa
