How do I use the SIM card slot in laptop?

[Reece_nut]

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!

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!

There should be a program on the hdd or site that can use it then

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.

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.

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.

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 !

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
