Hello, hopefully this is the right place. I have the 'ZOOSTORM TOUCH SCREEN 11.6" LAPTOP, INTEL 1037U, 4 GB RAM, 32 GB SSD, WINDOWS 10' and it comes with a SIM card slot, I want to use my personal three reward SIM 200mb free every month but i am having no luck. Is it possible or is this slot not used for this purpose? Any help is appreciated! 0 Phillip CorcoranSplendidModerator Sep 7, 20133,342224,8151,319 Apr 9, 2017
It won't be a regular SIM slot for the SIM you use in your phone. It's most likely for a pre-paid 4G or 3G data card for mobile internet access using wireless wide area network (WWAN). The cards are supplied by mobile network providers. Also, I've moved this thread as, strictly speaking, your query has nothing to do with Windows. We are discussing hardware here. -2 P Paul NZAdmirableSep 15, 20141,25616,260172 Apr 9, 2017
It maybe a card reader not a sim slot. They're not the same thing 0 R Reece_nutProminentApr 9, 2017305100 Apr 9, 2017
Paul NZ : It maybe a card reader not a sim slot. They're not the same thing I know what an SD card reader is this is definitely a SIM card slot! 0 P Paul NZAdmirableSep 15, 20141,25616,260172 Apr 9, 2017
There should be a program on the hdd or site that can use it then 0 Phillip CorcoranSplendidModerator Sep 7, 20133,342224,8151,319 Apr 9, 2017

So there is no way I can use a pay as you go SIM as it is incompatible? Is there no software I can get that gets around this? 0 Phillip CorcoranSplendidModerator Sep 7, 20133,342224,8151,319 Apr 10, 2017
Reece_nut : So there is no way I can use a pay as you go SIM as it is incompatible? Is there no software I can get that gets around this? Not to my knowledge. I'm just telling you what the slot is for, ask staff in a phone network shop for more info. 0 jsmithepaDignifiedJun 14, 20144,164314,6151,099 Apr 10, 2017
Laptops typically don't come with cellular modem built-in, so if your has one, it's very special, so special that wo consulting the manual, I wouldn't know what to do with it. MANUAL IS GODSPELL. 0 P Paul NZAdmirableSep 15, 20141,25616,260172 Apr 10, 2017
My niece has an HP that had a sim card slot in it. But you had to install an HP program to use it. But it worked quite good But it wasnt that easy to configure the settings in it after you installed the program ! 0 D davidcrazyjDec 10, 201810100 Dec 10, 2018
it may need a wwan card. some laptops have the sim slot but not the wwan modem. just open it up and see if it is in there |
