EM Mobile And Ubuntu

If you:

1. are in Japan
2. wants to have mobile internet connection using your notebook
3. have ubuntu (or linux in general, particularly Linux Mint Daryna) on your notebook

then you can try EM Mobile. If the sales promotion guy/girl said that EM Mobile can only be used on Windows Japan, IGNORE IT! Then,

1. Get the Huawei D01HW USB Modem from EM Mobile.
2. Plug the USB Modem to your USB Port on your notebook
3. Open command line, execute dmesg, check if the modem is detected, and find where it is attached to, usually it would be /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1
4. Open GnomePPP and Configure it.
5. Use the modem device (/dev/ttyXXXX)
6. Use username: em and password: em
7. Connect

If you’re in the coverage of em mobile, then you should be able to connect to the internet.
