You can connect the SIM card to your laptop because it has a CDMA module. A laptop can have both GSM and CDMA support, while a dongle needs to be developed to support this. It's practically the same thing, but you can try inserting the CDMA SIM in the dongle and you'll see it won't work because it's a different technology. Visit a local phone service shop, and they will explain what you need to acquire in order to connect the SIM card to have Internet access.
