 Make a script called flipflop.sh You can place it anywhere but I am going to use where I have it as an example: Make a script called flipflop.sh You can place it anywhere but I am going to use where I have it as an example:

 We have now installed all that we need to install. There are just a few more steps involved. We need to edit wvdial.conf . As root from terminal enter this: We have now installed all that we need to install. There are just a few more steps involved. We need to edit wvdial.conf . As root from terminal enter this:

 Where it says "Your Cricket Number Goes Here" replace that with your cricket number. Your cricket number should be on your monthly bill if you don't know what it is. Once it is done save the file. Where it says "Your Cricket Number Goes Here" replace that with your cricket number. Your cricket number should be on your monthly bill if you don't know what it is.

 We are almost done. From terminal as root again give this command: We are almost done. From terminal as root again give this command:

 It should now dial and connect. Do not close the terminal or it will disconnect. Everytime you poweroff or unplug the modem you have to do the flipflop.sh like I showed you above. If you just reboot your computer you don't have to do the flipflop.sh. Good Luck  It should now dial and connect. Do not close the terminal or it will disconnect.
