The other day I was toying around with a HP Compaq mini and a certain Lenovo (cant remember the brand) They both featured sim card slots but no GSM hardware registered on device manager or lspci and lshw. After opening the machines, I found that both had missing GSM/WWAN modules. Turns out most locally sold machines with sim slots are sold sans the above mentioned modules.

They call it a WWAN (HSDPA) module usually optional. Mine doesn't work. On Nov 19, 2012 7:15 PM, "Humphrey Kirui" <hkirui@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Guys,
I have noticed that most laptops now ( seen in HP & IBM) come with SIM slots.
Has anyone tried configuring this to work using local SIM cards in a Windows 7 environment? would really be interested in using it as an alternative to the USB modems like Bambanet.
Regards Humphrey.
