1. Plug your shield on Raspberry Pi and plug the USB cable from the device and your shield.
2. Use shield power to have power for raspberry pi and the shield.
3. Plug the antenna.
4. Insert your simcard.

Process:

1. Install ppp, wvdial and usb-modeswitch packages

4. Copy the wvdial.conf config file on /etc
5. Edit the wvdial.conf to define your APN, username and password if needed.
6. Run wvdial with this configuration:

 wvdial wvdial.conf network
