Pepephone 2G on Orange Pi 2G IOT

Recently I bought an Orange Pi 2G IOT. Pretty decent for $10 I would say, not a lot or RAM or CPU, but the interesting thing from my point of view is the 2G modem. Some pictures below with SIM card installed.


So the idea of this post is how to configure this device to connect to Pepephone network with a PIN on SIM. After some testing I finally came up with below wvdial.conf which works for me.

[Dialer defaults]
Modem = /dev/modem0
Baud = 30720000
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATE1
Init2 = AT+CPIN="XXXX"
Init3 = AT+CFUN=1
Init4 = AT+CGATT=1
Init5 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","gprs.pepephone.com","",0,0
FlowControl = CRTSCTS
Phone = *99#
Username = " "
Password = " "
Stupid Mode = 1
Auto Reconnect = on

Pin entry above should be replaced with your SIM pin.
Execute running wvdial from cli and you should be able to see a new interface named ppp0. Below is a screenshot of both interfaces ppp0 and wlan0.More info here (in spanish).
