I guess the phone is only recognized as a ugen device? If you, you can try this patch:

You probably need to adjust the patch to fit the new sources. BTW there are other open PRs concerning Nokia phones, too.

Try pairing it with bluetooth. Once that's done you should have a 'serial' connection. You can use that to 'dialup' to 3G.

The only difference with 3G compared to an old school dialup is the phonenumber. This is usually *99#
