You're dialling the phone number "172222". Is this the right number (no leading '0', area code, etc)?

You could try dialling out manually with minicom ("man minicom" for details) and see exactly what you're receiving.

I installed minicom but am not able to understand how to issue AT commands to the modem from minicom. Can you please help me in that. And yeah the number is right.. no prefix required.

then check if the number is working by picking up your phone and call 172222

if you could hear the noisy "beeeep booop" tone then the problem lies in your configuration.

or try

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

at shell prompt, then edit /etc/wvdial.conf and put in your username, password and phone number, uncomment the column i.e. remove the ;

then

wvdial

good luck

[svmhasde]

still no luck.. getting the same error....
Can you tell me how to use minicom, maybe then atleast i can see the response on terminal...

[scm]

"man minicom" will give you the basics. Once you're in minicom use Ctl-A, then Z to get a help list. Use M to initialise the modem, E to set echo on (useful so you can see what you're typing!) and then type the AT commands to perform what you want (ATDP 1722222, etc). You'll get the hang of it soon enough! I found it very useful to sort out a US Robotics modem that wasn't playing ball.
