Hi:

 

Along with the SIM card slot, which all dm3's in your model series have, select models have the optional WWAN (mobile broadband wireless adapter) which your notebook most likely does not have.

 

You can easily tell if your notebook has a mobile broadband (WWAN) card by going to the device manager, click to expand the network adapters device manager category.

 

You should see a wired adapter model, a wireless adapter model and a mobile broadband adapter model..

 

If you just see the first two then your notebook doesn't have the hardware for the sim card to work.
