freerunner unable to work with 3G SIMCards?

A new card worked for me at one point. It's not a solution, but rather, 
a test.

It is an indication that some firmware somewhere changed, and that the 
Freerunner doesn't handle it correctly.

I look forward to hearing from you the result of this test.

Sincerely,
Michael
