I'm writing this tutorial for the people who want to connect to internet using there mobiles via bluetooth in Ubuntu linux.
This tutorial is specifically for Nokia Symbian Phones but it may work for other phones too.
prerequisites:
1. A bluetooth enabled mobile. I'm using Nokia 3230.
2. GPRS data plan should be enabled in your phone. I'm using Aircel's unlimited data plan.
3. A bluetooth adapter.
4. Ubuntu installed in your computer
Now the tutorial starts:
1. Connect or plug-in your bluetooth to computer. Ubuntu should automatically detect it and bluetooth icon should be visible in top right corner.
2. Enable bluetooth on your phone.
Skip this step 3 if you have already paired your phone.
3. Now click on bluetooth icon on your desktop and choose '
set up new device' from the option. Now a window appears with your phone name listed in it, select your phone and click forward, enter pin displayed on your desktop in your phone.
4. Now your phone is paired with your desktop. Now get into your terminal.
5. Type this command in terminal
Code:
$ sdptool search DUN
You should get this
Code:
Searching for DUN on 00:13:FD:CC:F6:5C ...

Note your phones mac address and channel number which is in red.
In my case phone's mac address is 00:13:FD:CC:F6:5C and channel number is 2.
6. Now type in terminal
Code:
sudo gedit etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
And add the following
Code:

comment "Nokia 3230 via Bluetooth";
}
Enter your phones's mac address and channel number
save and exit.
7. now test the connection by following commands
Code:
$ sudo rfcomm release 0
$ sudo rfcomm connect 0
After a delay you will get the following
Code:
Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to 00:13:FD:CC:F6:5C on channel 2
Press CTRL-C for hangup
Now you have data connection to your phone!.
Press ctrl+C to break connection.
8. Now we have to setup ppp. In my case service provider is Aircel, Type in
Code:
$ sudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/aircel
And enter the following
Code:
# Aircel PPP initialisation/termination script
noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/aircel
-connect"
disconnect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/aircel-disconnect"

defaultroute
usepeerdns
Save and exit
9. Now type in
Code:
$ sudo gedit /etc/chatscripts/aircel-connect
Enter the following
Code:
# Aircel PPP CONNECT script
TIMEOUT 5
ECHO ON
ABORT '\nBUSY\r'
ABORT '\nERROR\r'
ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r'
ABORT '\nNO CARRIER\r'
ABORT '\nNO DIALTONE\r'
ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r'
'' \rAT
TIMEOUT 12
OK ATE1
OK 'AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","aircelgprs"'
OK ATD*99***1#
Note- In place of aircelgprs you have to put in your APN.
Now save and exit.
10. Now type in
Code:
$ sudo gedit /etc/chatscripts/aircel-disconnect
And enter the following
Code:
# Aircel PPP DISCONNECT script
ABORT "BUSY"
ABORT "ERROR"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
SAY "\nSending break to the modem\n"
"" "\K"
"" "\K"
"" "\K"
"" "+++ATH"
"" "+++ATH"
"" "+++ATH"
SAY "\nPDP context detached\n"
Save and exit.
Now we are ready to connect to internet! for first time
11. Open terminal and type in
Code:
$ sudo rfcomm connect 0
Don't close this terminal and open another terminal
Congratulation now your phone must be connected to internet verify it by GPRS icon in your phone.
Now bring up firefox and hit any site.
12. To disconnect from internet type this in same terminal as where you typed pon aircel
Hope this tutorial helped you.
