Edit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf and insert those values,
rfcomm0 {
bind yes;
device 00:1B:59:76:EF:1D;
channel 2;
comment "Irwan's W850i";
}

Restart Bluetooth service,
root@unforgiven:~# /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
Stopping bluetooth: bluetoothd.
Starting bluetooth: bluetoothd.

Edit /etc/wvdial.conf and insert those values,
[Dialer Defaults]
Phone = *99#
Username = celcom
Password = celcom
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/rfcomm0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

Now I ran wvdial and I’m connected to Celcom Broadband. Yay!
