This would prevent automatic connect if the user secured the SIM card
against theft (or at least prevent a thief from making use of the card)
by setting a PIN. It's bad enough that NM/MM currently doesn't work
properly with my Huawei E1750 if a PIN is set (but then it's partially
my fault because I haven't spent the time yet to analyse and report the
exact failure modes). Please don't _design_ it that way.
