Hello,
First, you will need to check if there is a modem available, some laptops do have a sim card slot but do not have a modem in it.
You can simply insert the card and boot to the desktop, if it's detected and working properly, it will ask you to unlock your sim card (if it's locked).
If it's not working, please run the following command in a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) and paste the result back here for a quick diagnostic:
    lspci -nn && lsusb

Regards.

Can you help with this problem?
