I recently purchased a usb modem de Movistar and I had no problem installing it on Windows o MacIt even comes with a practical program to manage all your connections or even the amount of MB you have consumed so far.
The problem, as always, comes when inserting it into LinuxTo begin with, we do not have a version of the program for Windows y MAC, and as it was not going to be less, we will have to do installation manually from settings Edit connections.
That is why I have decided to do this step-by-step practical guide with screenshots to make it easier for other colleagues Linuxers.
How to install Movistar USB modem in Ubuntu
The first thing we will do is go to the icon in the notification bar and select with the right mouse button the option of edit connections.
A new window will appear called network connections in which we will have to click on the button Add.
In the next window we will select from the drop-down menu the option of Mobile bandwidth.
Now we just have to set up the new connection with the data from the following screenshot:
-
Number * 99 #
-
Username movistar
-
Password movistar
-
Name of the AP movistar.es
-
Network id (empty)
-
Any type
-
PIN here the code of our SIM card or PIN.
Now we click on the button at the bottom right to Save changes and we can connect to our Movistar USB modem.

Q tal, I have done everything you indicate but I still cannot use the Movistar huawei E1750 modem
my ubuntu 16.04 detects it
root @ jorge-Satellite-A205: / home / jorge # lsusb
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 12d1: 1406 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E1750
the pendrive turns on the light in blue, which is how it is observed when it is active but not connected.
What else do you advise me to do?
eye i joined ubuntu recently and installed on my toshiba laptop along with win 7 and both run fine.
With these instructions I was able to connect to the internet through the modem but I still don't know how to do to have the Movistar interface for messages, etc.
