Thanks all for your help I am using ubuntu 9.04 and "network
connections" for configurations. I have tried *21#,#21# and *99# ,a
pop up top right of screen comes down and says "GSM network
disconnected" then goes away. Well this looks like my phone is not
happy with ubuntu any suggestion on phones that like ubuntu (except
nokia) as this one is due for replacment anyway. This does not mean
that I give in, there might be people in the same boat so any tricks
to get it going are welcome
