Few things: When you starting your computer and connecting modem for the first time after starting computer you have to go through 5 to 12 .But after that if you disconnect your modem and connect it again it will automatically show your modem.

Since we have the same vendor & product ID, create your config same as what i have:

gksudo gedit /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/1c9e:9605

Paste this code on the editor

DefaultVendor = 0x1c9e
DefaultProduct = 0x9605
TargetVendor = 0x1c9e
TargetProduct = 0x9605
MessageContent="55534243123456788000000080000606f50402527000000000000000000000"

Save and exit, then log in as root to your terminal:

su

Type & confirm your root password, and do:

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9605

usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/1c9e\:9605

If you didn't receive any error messages, you'll then see a new Mobile Broadband Connection on your Network Manager (top right wifi icon)

you need to run this code every session but you can just add the code below to your /etc/rc.local (insert before the 'exit 0') so it will be part of your startup programs:

 sleep 10
 modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9605
 usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/1c9e\:9605
 sleep 20
 nmcli nm wwan on
 sleep 10
 nmcli con up id "your connection name here"

Hope this helps ..
