I have a 3g Modem and it's my only way to connect to internet .

In the GUI Mode it's easy to connect via Network Manager, But how to connect to internet with this modem in the Text Mode?

nmcli

nmcli is a command line client for the Network Manager daemon...

I use wvdial to connect to my 3G modem as below:

  1. install wvdial :

    sudo apt-get install wvdial

  2. edit the wvdial.conf file by any text editor say gedit by below command:

    sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

  3. copy paste the following lines in wvdial.conf

    [Dialer a]
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99#
ISDN = 0
Baud = 460800
Username = " "
Password = " "
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = at+cgdcont=1,"ip","your apn"
Stupid Mode = 1

4 connect using ( you can change the name as you want by replacing a in above wvdial.conf )

 wvdial a

(just add apn according to isp you are using like aircelgprs for aircel, bsnnet for bsnl etc. in wvial.conf file in place of "your apn")

nmtui

It is a very basic UI for Network Manager. More convenient than "nmcli" IMHO.
