Indosat Broadband 3G is an unlimited internet program from Indosat (Matrix). We will be using their Eco package with Sony Ericsson P990i as usb modem.

If you haven't installed the modem, see this link before proceed with the following steps.

Steps:

• Login to your box via SSH as root

• Put the Sony Ericsson to any available USB port.

• On the handset, choose "Phone Mode".

• Edit the wvdial configuration file:

  nano /etc/wvdial.conf
  

• You'll see something like these:

  [Dialer Defaults]
  Modem = /dev/ttyACM1
  Baud = 460800
  Init1 = ATZ
  Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
  ISDN = 0
  Modem Type = USB Modem
  ; Phone = <Target Phone Number>
  ; Username = <Your Login Name>
  ; Password = <Your Password>
  

• Update the file to look like these:

  [Dialer Defaults]
  Modem = /dev/ttyACM1
  Baud = 460800
  Init1 = ATZ
  Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
  Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","indosat3g"
  ISDN = 0
  Modem Type = USB Modem
  Phone = *99***1#
