I know CDMA dongles in theory have a SIM card, but not in practice. Or are you telling me the CDMA dongles you have, have SIM cards? And these SIM cards are used for anything? > > With CDMA we could neglect this actually.

And only if you have a SIM, you have SIM PIN. So the same question stays, where is your SIM card in CDMA hardware that you have right now?
