This article equally applies on how to install cdma driver in my Window 7, provided you’re taking about Spice Mobile handsets.

Before you connect your mobile phone to your computer via USB cable, install the software, and here is how.


Run the Autorun file

First, select the USB Driver for the Mobile Phone. This is important, clicking on the driver link will take you to a wizard which will successfully install driver for the model you opted (here it’s d88).
Now, it’s time to install GPRS CDMA Connection software. Click the second link to proceed when you are done with installing drivers. Again, wizard will do things for you!

An icon as illustrated with name GPRS&CDMA appears on the desktop and start menu informing us that the mobile phone is ready to be used to connect internet. (Don’t click this icon NOW, proceed below or insert/plug the mobile to USB NOW)

Time to plug in the mobile device to the USB port. If the Windows attempts to install driver software for the mobile D88 (like the wizard as shown), simple LOCATE AND INSTALL DRIVER SOFTWARE (RECOMMENDED) and do go on.

You might be warned by Windows Security saying that Windows can’t verify the publisher of this driver software, and again INSTALL THIS DRIVER SOFTWARE ANYWAY to proceed.
Now, Windows will install the driver in its own way, don’t care about our initial driver installation, it’s okay. Windows will only revise the edition to make it recognizable.

Get notice of what’s happening at the right buttom corner where you will see that driver software installation doing its work- Mobile Phone USB MODEM Driver ( in fig COM7) installed.
Time to click the desktop icon GPRS&CDMA.

Depending upon which type of internet connection you are going to have, select MOBILE USE GSM MODEM or MOBILE USE CDMA MODEM.
You might like to refresh for the port address (COM port, to ensure you can check via device manager). Click CREATE CDMA CONNECTION and voila!!!
You might need to enter your user name (usually your mobile number) and password (ask your operator). The dialing number is almost always #777 for CDMA and *99# for GPRS GSM internet connectivity.
Goto C:\Program Files\LT\GPRSCDMA\GsmCdma.ini and open this file to change the dialing information. Find appropriate fields in the file as given below and change them (required fields are darken/bold/underlined to change) for user & password.
[GPRS] COUNT=4
NAME1 = Airtel GPRS
CONNECT1=AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”airtelgprs.com“,”0.0.0.0”,0,0
NUMBER1=*99#
USER1= GENERALLY, NOT NEEDED
PASSWORD1=GENERALLY, NOT NEEDED

[CDMA] COUNT=2
NAME1 = Reliance
CONNECT1=ate1+crm=1;+cmux=1;+cps=33;+cta=0
NUMBER1=#777
USER1=9740000000<<CHANGE IT
PASSWORD1=9740000000<<CHANGE IT
