How to use SIM card slot on W500

I found there is a slot for SIM card when I pull the battery out. I insert my SIM card and start the computer, however it won't recognize. I download and install Mobile Connect software, I got "no device found" message. How to use this function?

Hello LeadOrg:
Thanks for that reply.
What confuses me is this: There seems to be two or maybe three different cards available, as follows:
Vodafone and AT&T - HSDPA wireless WAN, which seems to address the following two items:
- Ericsson HSDPA Wireless WAN Adapter
- Qualcomm UNDP Wireless WAN Adapter
Verizon Wireless WAN (UNDP), which seems to address the following one item:
- Qualcomm HS-USB
I can't find any specifications in the Lenovo literature that clarifies which of the above items are suitable for GSM-900 and GSM-1800 (the frequencies used in Europe) and which of these items are suitable for GSM-850 and GSM-1900 (the frequencies used i Oz, USA, and Canada).
Further, Lenovo seems to be linking these two products to specific carriers (Vodafone and AT&T in one case, Verizon in the other case), and I use neither one of these companies - they don't operate in Canada. I use Rogers GSM when I am in Canada and Swisscom GSM when I am in Europe.
I am quite confused. I'd like to get a card that works with the two above carriers - but I don't know how to go about the process of selecting the appropriate card. The whole HSDPA, HS-USB and UNDP business totally confuses me. I always thought that UNDP was the United Nations Development Program...

How to use SIM card in Droid 2 Global?

So I have a Droid 2 Global because it has SIM card capabilities. I called Verizon to allow international roaming. Then I got the unlock code for my phone. Next I put a new-bought SIM card from China Mobile into my Verizon Droid 2 Global.
However, when someone calls my China Mobile phone number, my phone does not react. The caller hears a prerecorded message that the China Mobile phone number is incorrect or not connected.
When I call with my Droid 2 Global with the China Mobile SIM card inside, the receiving person sees my Verizon phone number.
My question is: How do I get my Droid 2 Global to recognize and use my China Mobile SIM card?
I don't want it to use my Verizon phone number while I am overseas. I like my Verizon service in the U.S., and I plan to return to it. I just thought the idea of a global phone with a SIM card was to be able to travel to other countries and use another SIM card if need be, and the sales representatives at my local Verizon store sold me this idea of international usage. Other users seem to have no problem. Please inform me of how it works
Thank you!

Hi mortb, thanks for your input.
However, that is not true about SIM cards. You can find accurate information about SIM cards through your search engine or even Wikipedia. SIM cards are meant to be swapped out. SIM cards are used in Europe and Asia more than the U.S. "The SIM card allows users to change phones by simply removing the SIM card from one mobile phone and inserting it into another mobile phone or broadband telephony device" (Wikipedia- SIM cards).
A SIM card holds the prepaid account value, telephone number, the user's address book, call logs, texts, etc. A lot of websites give the analogy: Say your phone is dead but you need to make a call. You can use your friend's cell phone with your SIM card and call. You won't be using your friend's minutes, but your own because you are using the minutes from your SIM card.
In my case, I want to use a local cell phone provider to make local calls. Theoretically speaking, I can do so if I swap out my SIM card for a local network's SIM.
Now Verizon locks all its phones to their Verizon SIM cards, so Verizon phones can only use Verizon SIM cards, but the Droid 2 Global allows you to unlock your SIM, meaning that you are going to put in another SIM card, aka another cell phone service provider.
So I am confused why I cannot use another carrier's SIM card. Can anyone explain why? Or what can I do to sync my China Mobile SIM to my Droid 2 Global?

What is use of sim card slot in hp pavilion dv4

i want to know how to use sim card slot in my HP Pavilion dv4 laptop

Hi,
It's a SIM card slot and it's for a SIM card. But to be able to fully utilize/utilise it you also need a WWAN card. What is the model of your machine ? dv4 is a series of many model, most of them do not have WWAN cards built-in.

I have a iPhone 4 which was on Verizon. I now want to start using it on Walmart Family Mobile. I know I have to get it jail broke but people are telling me that I can't use it as it has no sim card slot. Is there a way of getting around this problem?

How can I use a iPhone 4 without the sim card slot on Walmart family mobile?

The Verizon iPhone 4 is a CDMA only phone. It is not physically possible to use it on a GSM network. It doesn't have the right parts. Also, we can't discuss jailbreaking here.
Best of luck.

Unless already activated, you won't be able to use it as a touch. If that's the case, you can look at it...use it as a paperweight...try & trade it for something of value...pawn it...send it back to your sister...well, you get the picture.

Depends
If you need a cellphone then No.
If he wants more than $1 then No.
I would suggest that you buy an iPod Touch from Apple.

I bought an iphone sprint carrier on ebay but i want to know if the phone is going to work for an international carrier movistar which is gsm due to the phone does have a sim card slot , what do i need to do ?

help me how can i get my phone to work in movistar which is my carrier in ecuador gsm . sprint iphones does have sim card slot but i'm not sure if it will work for gsm what do i need to do , how do i unlock it

IF the phone was unlocked by Sprint for international use, it will work on any compatible (non U.S.) GSM carrier.
If it was NOT unlocked before you acquired it, you will need to move to the US and establish service with Sprint, then wait the minimum amount of time specified by their policy before they will agree to unlock it for you.
If you are not a Sprint customer, you bought the wrong phone.

HP 6910p laptop with Matshita ujda775 dvd drive and SIM Card slot

Hello everyone ,
I have an HP Compaq 6910p with Windows 7 ultimate 32bit installed, the laptop has Matshita ujda775 DVD Drive,
After a search about its specifications I found on ehow - Matshita UJDA775 Specifications that it can write to CDs but when I try it says "Blank CD/DVD not detected " .
how can I do it, If it is true that it can write to CDs?
Another question is how to use the SIM card slot in my laptop to connect to the internet?
Thank you.

Yes it should burn CDs. Try the fix linked in this prior thread:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-e-g-Windows-8/Optical-Drive-Will-Not-Burn/m-p/2795995...
The SIM card slot takes a WAN card that must be registered on a network like Verizon or Sprint and will give you access like a smartphone. There is a monthly charge involved.

Broken SIM card slot tray holder - N97 mini

I've got my N97 mini since several years ago, and now I meet a problem. I was trying to put my micro-sim with a adapter in it to check if it works, but unfortunately, when I was pulling it out, it got stuck. Then I used a little bit force. However, after it successfully came out, I suddenly found that the SIM card slot tray holder bended and was a total mess.
Have anyone else experienced like this? How and where to repair it in VIC? And how much does it cost?
Thanks for all the guys who answer me! ^ ^

hi mate,
Oh no. Did the same thing with my N8 a few years back and had to have it replaced at a Nokia Care point. I really feel for you buddy as it is quite catastrophic and can damage the phone. Your best bet is to actually follow the Nokia Care procedures on the Nokia Australia website. All the Nokia Care points across Australia have closed down (here in Perth, and one I saw in Melbourne on that main street near the main railway station, Flinders is it called, that one is closed down too). Therefore the procedure is that you have to send it off to Rydlemere in NSW where they will assess whether they can repair then mail it back to you.

Ipad2 sim card slot

I bought an ipad2 (WI-FI + 3G 64GB) at a Verizon store, to use in another country. The ipad2 cost me 906 $ (including tax)
Once back to that country and at my surprise when trying to activate the ipad2, there was no slot for the micro-sim. Some apple community people told that Verizon does not use sim cards.
I feel cheated !! Why do I pay a full price for something which is limited to Verizon.
If I knew about that I would have definitely changed my mind and bought the device elsewhere !.
My Ipad2 is now worthless since i don't need a 3G iPad2 to be forced to use it as a WI-FI only !!
I sincerely expect a real explanation and a helpful solution from Verizon
Can anyone help me with this?
I've already send this "inquiry " to Verizon but unfortunately I haven't received any feedback

I'm accustomed to Apple products (such as iPhones, and ipad 1) which I bought before, also, in different countries and i've not encountered such problems.
It's Verizon's responsibility to bring such a detail into the customer's attention, since the standard Apple products do have micro-sims slots. I'm no a Verizon products' expert, and I'm not supposed to be. If Verizon sells a "modified " product it has the moral and the legal obligation to bring it into any customer's attention.
Thanx
That is your opinion, and you are of course, entitled to it.
When I purchase something, though, I like to make sure that I am getting the correct product for me. I make sure to ask questions about how I will be using the product, or do research about the product which I am purchasing. Especially if I am travelling abroad and bringing this item back home with me with the knowledge that I WILL NOT be able to have access to the store where I purchased this product.
Obviously every possible way an item can be used cannot be described when you are speaking with a salesman. If you are going to be using the item in a way which is out of the ordinary for this product or establishment, i.e. purchasing the product and immediately leaving the country to use it abroad, that responsibility is up to you.
That is me, of course, and my opinion.

If I bought a no SIM iphone5c would I be able to take the SIM card out my iphone 5 and put it in the iPhone5c? I'm just wondering because it says it has no sim so I'm wondering if it does have SIM card slot?

Both iPhones use the same size SIM Cards. You will be able to simply transfer the iPhone 5 SIM Card to the iPhone 5C SIM Card Tray.
