1) Install wvdial with the command

Code:

sudo apt-get install wvdial

2) Launch the command

Code:

ls /dev/tty*

to see how my Nokia phone is recognized by Ubuntu. Usually, it will be recognized as /dev/ttyACM0.

3) Connect C6 via USB as "Nokia Ovi Suite"

4) Launch the command again

Code:

ls /dev/tty*

The Nokia phone, recognized as a modem, will be showed as /dev/ttyACM0, /dev/ttyUSB0, ecc.
