Get connected to internet in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx with nokia via Bluetooth

[Gauravs90]

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

$ sdptool search DUN

You should get this

Searching for DUN on 00:13:FD:CC:F6:5C ...
Service Name: Dial-Up Networking
Service RecHandle: 0x10005
Service Class ID List:
  "Dialup Networking" (0x1103)
Protocol Descriptor List:
  "L2CAP" (0x0100)
  "RFCOMM" (0x0003)
    Channel: 2
Language Base Attr List:
  code_ISO639: 0x454e
  encoding:    0x6a
  base_offset: 0x100
Profile Descriptor List:
  "Dialup Networking" (0x1103)
    Version: 0x0100

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

sudo gedit  etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf

And add the following

rfcomm0 {
        bind yes;
        device 00:13:FD:CC:F6:5C;
        channel 2;
        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

$ sudo rfcomm release 0
$ sudo rfcomm connect 0

After a delay you will get the following

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

$ sudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/aircel

And enter the following

# 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"
silent
debug
/dev/rfcomm0
115200
defaultroute
usepeerdns

Save and exit

9. Now type in

$ sudo gedit /etc/chatscripts/aircel-connect

Enter the following

# 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

$ sudo gedit /etc/chatscripts/aircel-disconnect

And enter the following

# 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

$ sudo rfcomm connect 0

Don't close this terminal and open another terminal

$ sudo pon aircel

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

$ sudo poff aircel

Hope this tutorial helped you.

You don't have to run PC suite on ubuntu

Ubuntu has support for nokia phones by default, just select PC Suite in your phone when it asks.
