Sim Missing Error - Huawei Embedded Modem(Model ME906s-158

[Sonnie]

I have a Lenovo thinkpad x260 with a Huawei Embedded Modem(Model
ME906s-158). I've been using it with debian 9 sucessfully. Had need to move
to Debian 10. Since the move, it stopped working. Tried a fresh install of
Debian 9 but i can't still use the modem.

I keep see "Modem couldn't be initialized: Couldn't check unlock status:
SIM not inserted" when i check the logs of ModemManager. I am also  so
certain that there is a sim in the sim tray and it works on my mobile
phone.

mmcli -L

Found 1 modems:
