Looking for a program towards using the USB 3G Modem for calling purpose

Asked by Triyambakesh

I am using a Mobile Broadband USB Modem 3G stick (Huawei E173) in my Laptop for accessing internet. Unlike Mobile partner program that has the telephony interface in it, I am looking for a similar interface in my Laptop (Acer aspire 5740, core i5) + Ubuntu 11.10 OS, from where i can make/ receive calls, check balance in my SIM and access contact info. Can anyone suggest me with such program if its available for using the Modem as telephony? Thank you
