The modem inside your laptop is identical to the GC89, which is quad band.

in order to create a dialup ouside the Cingular’s software.
Hope this helps
I called Sony Support and asked them to give me WorldWide unlock code. They gave me exactly the same code like before. I asked the guy is that code WorldWide and he said yes. So, theoretically, it should be unlocked properly.
I’ve put inside real post-paid data card (that came with Vodafone EDGE/GPRS/WLAN PC Card that I bought).
It’s not prepaid, it’s not voice with data enabled, it’s the real thing: data only, 100MB per month included and all that stuff. 
I’ve disabled PIN code verification.
First I tried with Cingular software. Same story, no signal.
The I rebooted and tried to manually create connection. When I click connect, it says “Connecting”, then “Registering your computer on the network” and after that “Error 734: The PPP link protocol was terminated”.
And that’s it. :(
I don’t know what else to do…
Gilbert, are you 100% sure that modem inside T350P/L is GC89 and is it really support european GSM900 network ? :cry:
Matta,
It is the GC89. The fact that you get to the PPP authentication/authorization phase, shows that it works ... to a point.
If your modem wasn’t able to get a GSM900 signal, you wont be able to even see the signal level, dial and authenticate.
have you chagned the APN for the specific provider?
If your PPP link is terminated it is either:
- wrong password
- wrong authentication (plain text/CHAP/MS-PAP)
- wrong APN
- weak signal.
keep bugging with it you will get it.
