What I want to know is - is the T400's AT&T WWAN adapter usable for me as a 3G modem in my country?

I believe there are two cards available, one GSM, one CDMA. I'd assume they are locked to a provider, so an American AT&T card may not work.

Additional information
Lenovo Mobile Broadband Connect is an application for ThinkPad systems to support mobile broadband (3G) activation for various service providers. This supports service providers for both cdma and gsm technology. This provides information about service plans, rates and ways to signup and activate the wireless wan adapter for mobile broadband connection. After activation, users can establish (connect/disconnect) mobile broadband connection using Access Connection application

The question makes no sense without information about the 3G services in your country.

The North America region generally uses different frequency bands for 3G services than those typically used in the EMEA region.

The AT&T card is locked to AT&T. I am sure that it can be unlocked just like any GSM phone, but I don't know how. Also, I am not sure if it also supports 900/1800 Mhz (non-American bands). Although my guess is that it does since almost every GSM device these days is tri-band or quad-band.

As for the Verizon one, there are a handful of countries that have CDMA carriers. So it would probably work in those countries, but you would have to have the card reprogrammed to the correct settings. I don't know how to access those settings either.

Looking for the 1802 BIOS fix for the T500

I am installing a Sprint WWAN card and I would like to use this instead of Verizon or AT&T as I already have an account with Sprint.

Thanks in advance,
