I have been using Ubuntu during 20+ days. I am now using a 3G wireless modem (huawei e303-h1) to connect with internet. My modem's software is specially designed for Windows. So whenever I connect it in Windows I see a nice GUI which allows me to call, send sms, receive phone calls, monitor network speed and data etc. convenient features. I just want to know if I can install a software on Ubuntu for this modem to do same things that I can do in Windows. Is there any free open source software which can offer me such features?

You can install Modem Manager, which can fulfill some of your requirements. It is in Software Center, or can be installed by
sudo apt-get install modem-manager-gui
It can send, receive SMS, USSD, monitor traffic, networks, etc.
But it can not make phone calls.

well I see on unity there is a message box which tells 33 new messages but modem manager doesnt show anyone! Also how to call using this? May 19, 2015 at 16:28

If you click on a small triangle close to Incoming folder, does it open? I had this trouble too, and know how to fix it. You can't call with it.– Pilot6May 19, 2015 at 16:30

You also can go to settings and set the behavior to expand folders by default. Regarding making calls, I am afraid it is not possible on Ubuntu.– Pilot6May 19, 2015 at 16:58
