Hp Probook 4330s - Where/how do i connect a mobile SIM card to my laptop.

[Octovitae]

Hello, i recently got a data plan with my mobile subscription, i got 2 sim cards, one for the mobile phone and the second one to use for laptops,tablets etc.

I have read the manual, and it says this "(3) SIM slot Contains a wireless subscriber identity module (SIM) (select models only). The SIM slot is located inside the battery bay."

The instructions can be found here 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03054507 ( page 19)

But i opened up the battery and can't seem to find any sign for SIM insertion, i even checked by opening the back cover and checking if i could find any symbol but i don't see any.

I checked the support download site on HP and Probook 4330s seems to have the "Sierra Wireless driver for SIM cards" software.

Any alternative solutions to connecting my SIM card to the laptop?

Here are the pictures i took.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, you may have confused your 4330s model with the 4430s model notebook which does have a SIM slot.

The 4330s model does not have that feature.

Look a bit closer in the manual and you will see what I mean. (See page 4 of chapter 1.  At the top of the page it shows which notebooks have certain features.)

Thanks for the quick answer.

Is there any other way i can connect the SIM to the laptop, by adapter or something?

Would the laptop support it if i download the software?

Unfortunately there is not any way to use a SIM in a notebook that does not have a SIM slot.

You can use your mobile phone to create a hot spot and connect to it. You can do that with an android phone or an iPhone. The personal hotspot method will allow you to use your mobile phone's wireless data plan. You can have internet on your notebook without have to connect to an unknown wireless SSID.
