Its actually SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem. I am using my mobile
phone(Samsung E1410) to connect to Internet. 

lsusb says

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04e8:663f Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
SGH-E720/SGH-E840
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub


Apart from what I guessed is that, it may be problem with service
provider and may not associated with the modem.
