Thanks again Ndungi, Your script was very similar to the one I have, still no luck. Your username seems quite different than mine which is more like a phonenumber (020200xxxx) and my password the pin which came with the RUIM. Am I missing the obvious?! BTW, the blue light seems to blink every 2 seconds, which according to the manual means it is not seeing the network. Every second means network is detected.... cheers, Mark On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 9:51 PM, Ndungi Kyalo <ndungi@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Mark,
I have a working EVDO wvdial conf file at home, i'll paste it here in the evening for your scrutiny. It would however be good if orange techies were willing to come to your aid before sunset :)

Hi John,
Are you on the EVDO network or perhaps CDMA?! I am getting an invalid dial command with *99#
