When using gammu/wammu the device has to be configured to be detected as 
a modem ("/dev/ttyUSB0") instead a mass-storage device ("/media"). 
Choosing between the two modes is something you have to do before 
connecting the device, from the cell phone itself.

Also, if BT is available you can try with that (if your computer has a BT 
adapter, of course :-) )
