Vodafone Mobile Broadband K3765-Z not working in jessie but was working in wheezy

Question

I was working on Debian stable=wheezy until last week. Using my Surfstick was fine - configured by network-Manager. After updating to jessie I'm not able to connect.

The stick is properly found.
lsusb shows Bus 003 Device 002: ID 19d2:2002 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM

nmcli results in

The connection could not be established. Neither via nmcli nor by gnome-app nor by wvdial.

After many tries I found a solution (at least for me): It seems, there is a problem with PIN-locked SIM-Cards.
After setting up the GSM-Connection via the GUI nothing happended (seemed so). But a file for the connection in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ has been created.
By disabling the PIN of the SIM-Card or by inserting a pin=#### (of course replace by you PIN) line into the connection profile worked fine.
For further help, I`ll show my file over here:
