Actually, ppp and TDMA/CDMA are nice break from the other headaches I've
been trying to solve. ;)

First of all, you either haven't mentioned the name of your service
provider, or I forgot what it was. Either way, it matters.

Ted Roby recently posted his config for Virgin Mobile:

The above may not help, but it's nice to see working examples.

Since pppd(8) is in the kernel, it can be faster, but since ppp(8) is
in userland, it can be much easier to work with when figuring things
out. Once you figure out how to make things work with ppp(8), you can
easily write a new config for pppd(8).

The above looks wrong. Not all wireless service providers and not
all cellular wireless devices require using the Personal Identification
Number (PIN) when making a connection. And worse, the responses you
can get varies from device to device. (see below)

Also, it is unwise to post your PIN to a public mailing list. It's not
too dangerous without the IMEI and MEID device, but it's still not a
good idea.

The above is most likely wrong. The AT+CGDCONT= command sets the primary
CONText of the device and the network it is attaching to. The first
value argument states whether or not the device can be reconfigured (1),
or cannot be reconfigured (3). The second argument is a string which
defines the protocol used on the network. The third argument is also
a string and it defines the Packet Data Network (PDN) name or Access
Point Name (APN).

As far as I know "movistar.es" is not the proper name of any Packet Data
Network (PDN) or Access Point Name (APN). For example Virgin Mobile uses
"VDATA" as the APN/PDN name, while AirTel uses "airtelgprs.com" as the name
and of course, what your provider uses is unknown.

You need to be careful with this setting since many providers have multiple
data networks. With Verizon here in the silicon valley, I can choose from
three different data networks (actually four if you count EVDO Rel. 0 as a
different network than EVDO Rev. A).

The above is wrong because it has no timeout or 'CONNECT'. Also, you should
have noticed the leading double quote (") which is prematurely ending
your chat script *BEFORE* the required number is dialed. The above should be:

        \\dATDT*99***1# TIMEOUT 30 CONNECT"

The leading "\\d" gives a two second delay before calling. It may or may not
be necessary with your hardware/provider.

The above is most likely wrong.

The above is often unnecessary to get things working, but rewriting
/etc/resolv.conf is mostly a matter of personal choice/needs. The
command you have below, namely `enable dns` should suffice.

Yep. Here's (one of) your problem(s). Your chat script is telling ppp
to expect "+CPIN: READY" but the device is actually sending 
you "+CPIN: SIM PIN" so you get the dreaded "Expect timeout"

Your original chat line from above reads:
>               AT+CPIN? +CPIN:\\sREADY-AT+CPIN\\\"****"\\\"-OK \

It should read something like this:
>               AT+CPIN? +CPIN:\\sSIM\\sPIN-AT+CPIN\\\"****"\\\"-OK \

As mentioned above, I do not know whether or not sending your PIN to the
device/carrier is necessary to unlock the device/account. Sometimes it
is necessary, and sometimes it is not necessary.

The above made absolutely no sense to me until I realized you had an
extra double quote in your chat script which prevented it from dialing.
