Download sakis3g script from following site http://www.snowguide.gr/gnu-linux-corner/raspberry-pi-raspbian/117-sakis3g-script
save it in home folder and extract it.
go to properties and in permission check allow it as executable.
open terminal and type chmod a+x ./sakis3g and enter .
now just type ./sakis3g and enter .
a sakis3g window will open .
just go through it what you think you should enter.
Choose APN for your particular connection.(www for vodafone for example.)
You can see that the modem is being detected.
when you will be asked to enter user name just cancel it.It will show to be failed but don't worry.It will not cause anything.
now you will see that there is an option for mobile broadband connection.click on it and it will be connected.

You are done.

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 ..

While I cannot help you much with the details, you need to take a look at wvdial to use your USB 3G modem from commandline. I think it should appear on /dev/modem.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/SetUpDialer#Alternative_Way_1_.28using_wvdialconf_.26_wvdial.29

In order to test that the modem is working fine, you can plug it and try to connect to it with :

screen /dev/modem

and test various AT commands. For example, typing ATI + enter should give you the model of your modem ( if I am not wrong )
