Hi

I have a X200s Thinkpad wand would like to use my 3G Vodafone sim card with it, do i need to purchase a Ericsson F3507g Other - Wireless WAN card? from Lenovo to use the Sim?

Thanks

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?
