T500 WWAN Questions
Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 7:36 pm
Hi folks,
I have a Thinkpad T500 (2081-CTO) with the internal AT&T WWAN adapter. The first thing I did when I got it was wipe the drive and install Windows 7. Now I am wishing I had paid a little more attention to the WWAN options. I seem to remember there was an offer to get a 30-day free trial period activation of the WWAN SIM that came installed in my computer. Does anybody know how I might do that or will I need to reload the system from my backup media? Also if somebody could give me a crash course as to how the WWAN connection works in general I'd appreciate it -- I've never used one before. How do I activate it and once I do does it just show up as another network connection (like a LAN port) or something? I'm having a remarkably difficult time finding documentation about this.
Thanks again!
