Help with setting up gprs connection on ubuntu

[blueren]

Hi.

This is rather urgent. I am using Vodafone and I badly want to use my mobile to access internet via ubuntu. Can someone please *please* help me out?

There is this Rs95 recharge which I'm willing to recharge only if its gonna help me on this. They offer 2gb free usage.

I ran into this site where these details are given:

sudo apt-get install wvdial

Now connect the phone to the computer in Data mode.Your next job is to edit the file wvdial.conf.To do that,run the following command in a terminal

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

Delete everything from the file and paste this into it-
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=3,"IP","*GPRS APN*",,0,0
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = *99***3#
ISDN = 0
Username = *your number*
Password = *Passoword*
Baud = 460800
GPRS APN for Idea is "internet" and for Airtel,it is "airtelgprs.com".You can always check it up with your provider.The password for Idea is 1.Clarification:You have to replace *GPRS APN* with internet for Idea and airtelgprs.com for Airtel.

You can also run wvdialconf to make sure your Modem,Baud,Init1 and Init2 settings are best suited to your phone.Just run this command in your terminal
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

The configuration part is done now.To connect to the internet,with the phone connected in Modem mode,run the following command in a terminal
sudo wvdial

I did exactly as said but nothing happened. it says that there is a wireless mobile network but i'm not able to connect to it

My vodafone APN is "mmsnportal"
I have no clue about my username and password as those fields are blanks (in my websettings on phone)

Please help.
