Hi there,

I'm not actually a Vodacom customer, but this forum is the only place that I've found good information about the E220.

I'm trying to use a Huawei E200 with Roger's Wireless in western Canada. GPRS works, but 3G doesn't. 3G doesn't seem to work under Windows either, if I set it to use "3G Only" then it is unable to even detect the network.

Firmware: 11.313.02.00.01

Here is my wvdial.conf file:

[Dialer Defaults]
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Phone = *99#
Auto Reconnect = off
Username = wapuser1
Password = wap
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init3 = AT E1 V1 &D2 &C1 S0=0 +IFC=2,2
Init4 = AT+IPR=115200
Init5 = ATX3
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Init7 =AT +CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.com","",0,0;

[Dialer GPRS]
Init6 = AT^SYSCFG=2,1,3FFFFFFF,1,2

[Dialer 3Gonly]
Init6 = AT^SYSCFG=14,2,3FFFFFFF,1,2

[Dialer Any]
AT^SYSCFG=2,0,3FFFFFFF,2,4

Here is the GPRS pppd output:

pppd seems to be having a conversation with the remote side even with "AT^SYSCFG=14,2,3FFFFFFF,1,2", but the connection seems to drop out during negotiation. It would be nice to know if the thing is actually connected via 3G, but the only way that I've been able to tell is from the ^MODE lines coming in over /dev/ttyUSB1, which come in very, very rarely and are always "^MODE:3,2".

I've been beating my head against this for days now and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
 
it's not compatible with the cellc network.

will only do edge

I have the same issue with mine.

I used mine with a telkom SIM, and got 3G, so it is not the software setups, it's the router not being compatible enough.
 
On 2100MHz (UTMS) in Canada you have:

DAVE
Microcell Communications (Fido)
TerreStar
Shaw Communications - Not yet Operational
Bragg - Not yet Operational

If you can get a signal from any of the above then your E220 should work.

Not yet operational means service should be available +/- six months.
