Hello Skunks,
Am working on mbuni which requires a ppp connection to safaricom in order to send an MMS however wvdial just keeps responding with NO CARRIER and my wvdial.conf looks in order as shown below, what could be the problem?

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","safaricom"
Phone = *99#
Password = data
Stupid mode = yes
Baud = 115200
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = 0
Username = saf
Carrier check = no
Modem Type = Analogue Modem
