Built in broadband activation message after firmware upgrade

Hi All,
I've got a dell 430 with built in mobile broadband.
My SIM works fine.
I upgraded the firmware of the built in broadband, and my mobile broadband connection works fine EXCEPT when I disconnect I get a popup message telling me I need to activate my broadband connection.
Rang Dell activation number who tell me to ring Vodafone
Vodafone sat the SIM is acivated (they then de-activated and re-activated the card - still the same problem)
 
Anyone else got any ideas how to stop this message appearing?
 
Thanks
Ian.

    Ian:
     
    I seem to have the same problem with my Precision M4300. I activated the mobile broadband with my existing Verizon account, but the mobile broadband activation reminder keeps popping up with every reboot. The reminder goes away when I connect, but it is a nuisance.
     
    Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you.

    Well the good news is that the message has stopped appearing.
    - I didn't change anything to do with my mobile broadband at my end, so I can only assume that either something happened at the Vodafone end or the message is time based and stops appearing after a certain number of days that has now passed.
