error 679: the system could not detect the carrier
Dear Friends,
following the instructions provided by Sony, I got the number from them and unlocked my sim card for my Sony Vaio sz220 laptop. Everything worked smoothly.
What I did then was to put in the sim card of my cellphone to see if it worked but the message was a ERROR 679: the system could not detect the carrier. What do I have to do now? I am in Italy and I would prefer not to call by phone the States: it is too expensive.
Could anyone help?
Tommy

What gave you the idea that a Cellphone SIM Card = Laptop SIM card?

Do you have a source that told you that? I would be surprised if they were compatible.

Thank you very much!
Thank you very much. I guess I did not understand well how it works.
It was new to me.

I don't see anything in that posts that suggests it works, merely a suggestion to try it. You tried it, and it didn't work.
