Even though my experience with this company was quite painful, long, and drug out, I’m going to attempt to keep this review short.
Bottom line: Although the design and ordering process is very easy, streamlined, and simple, placing an order with this company, based on my personal experience, runs a very high risk of cumbersome delays, phone tag, and a major investment in your personal time.

This is easy enough, but since I recently did it and had difficulty finding definite information I thought I would post it myself.
Truth is, it’s a piece of cake. First things you need to know:
Your modem is just that — a modem, and it is connecting like any dialup modem.
Dialup number: #777
Username: xxxxxxxxxx@vzw3g.com (replace xxxxxxxxxx with you 10-digit phone number associated with your modem)
Plug your UM150 into your USB port. Ubuntu should detect it as /dev/ttyACM0
Now, simply run “sudo wvdialconf”
It will detect your modem and do pretty much all the configuration.
Edit /etc/wvdial.conf — put in the appropriate phone number, your username, and anything as the password (I used “abcd”).
Now, run “wvdial”
and you’re golden. Good luck!
