What are you using to try to dial out?
I always used wvdial. What I would suggest, if you haven't tried it,
is to install wvdial. As part of the installation, it will try to
detect and configure the modem.
You can re-run the configuration at any time by doing:
sudo wvdialconf
Check /etc/wvdial.conf to see if it found anything for your modem. If
it did, fill out the phone number, user name, password, then try to
dial out:
sudo wvdial
Just a basic idea, maybe one you already tried.
