copy/paste from SW, so all what U see



Usage:
1. Remove SimCard and plug PCMCIA Modem (KK name it phone).
2. Install drivers (from our support).
2a. For Huawei E220 card with non supported firmware then read "WARNING".
3. Click "READ INFO" to check simlock status.
3a. If client will read strange or non complete data click "READ INFO" again...
4. Click "EXECUTE",wait when finish and enjoy.
WARNING: Huawei E220 cards must be flashed at least with firmware from support(11.116.05.00.00.B268) or newer!.
!!! Remove SimCard while simlock operation! Otherwise simlock status will be incorrect !!!

Since your modem seems to be unlocked... maybe you can also check whether you have installed the SIM properly... when reversed or wrong orientation... it will display Invalid SIM... happened to me a couple of times.
