use 'sudo wvdial'

check if #777 is the correct number.

Number #777 is correct, but you either need to login as root or allow general users to use wvdial to be able to use it.

Yes,
I get it.

I have to use 'sudo wvdial' command. Now I am connected to internet and ready to use ubuntu.

Downloading some stuff from internet.

Thanks for your help.

Also make sure you have added the 'Stupid Mode = 1' line in /etc/wvdial.conf.

what is your /etc/wvdial.conf file like.. post it here.. also verify the username and passwords entry should match your ISP's
if you are using UBUNTU 9.04 it will detect automatically your EVDO connection
