I recently got a 3G dongle with a data plan of 200MB per month and I would like to know when I reach that limit. Are there any programs (preferably an indicator) which let my monitor my monthly usage?
Mobile Partner 23 has this functionality but is not available for Linux.
We can't send SMSs, USSD codes, make calls or get Data Usage from Huawaei 3G dongles/data cards without Huawei mobile partner. How do we install it?
I am living in Sri Lanka and cheapest way for access internet is through pre-paid mobile broadband here. In order to recharge pre-paid account we need to remove the SIM card from from the dongle and connect to a phone. After recharge then again need to connect the SIM to the dongle. To avoid this difficulties it is better if we can dial through the dongle for recharge with a software. In some other OS, we can do this with Mobile Partner software. But in Ubuntu, the version supported is unable to make calls/ dial.
If someone can help to find a solution, it would be a great help.
Hi I have been trying Ubuntu to detect and connect using the buit in mobile broadband capability in my HP 110 netbook but until now nothing seems to work

So far I have been trying what is intended on several pages, trying to update firmware using wine and then moving .mda or whatever files the update package GobiInstaller.mdi throws out. The results are always the same: After running

And creates 2 empty folders, I have been trying hard and I am not sure if I am doing it the way it should be.
I use ZTE USB Modem on Natty Narwhal. Every thing works fine but sometimes it get disconnected. I want to write Shell script that reconnects mobile broadband if it is disconnected or the received data is less than 20 KB after 5 seconds of connection.
So my question is how to enable/disable mobile broadband? How to check for data received? and how to enable/disable network service ?
note: terminal commands only Or if you can write script, I'll be very thankful.
