If your X200s was purchased without a pre-installed WWAN card - The Ericsson F3507g Other - FRU: 43Y6513 is the correct WWAN for UK/Europe. You can order from
IBM Parts UK online or by phone: 01475 557601

The X200s (at least the LED models for sure) don't have the antennas for WWAN so even if you installed a 3G mini-PCIe card, there would be nothing to connect it to. Only regular X200 and X200 Tablets have the antennas.

csv96: Thanks for the info
- Have checked
Lenovo UK's site: It seems that the
current x200s with the 12.1
WXGA display's has the WWAN antenna's.

All
Thanks for the information
I have ordered a 3G Enabling Module for T400 / T500 / X200 / X301, does this mean i still cant use a sim card cause it has no antennas?
Is there something else i can buy to enable it?
