The other day I was toying around with a HP Compaq mini and a certain Lenovo (cant remember the brand)<div>They both featured sim card slots but no GSM hardware registered on device manager or lspci and lshw.</div><div><br>

</div><div>After opening the machines, I found that both had missing GSM/<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">WWAN </span>modules.</div><div><br>
</div>
<div>Turns out most locally sold machines with sim slots are sold sans the above mentioned modules.</div><div><br></div><div>Ni Ripoff ama????</div><div><font><font><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="border-collapse:collapse"><span style="font-size:13px"><br>

Hi Guys,<br><br>I have noticed that most laptops now ( seen in HP &amp; IBM) come with SIM slots.<br><br>Has anyone tried configuring this to work using local SIM cards in a Windows 7 environment?<br>would really be interested in using it as an alternative to the USB modems like Bambanet.<br>
