Hi:

 

You can only do that if your notebook has the WWAN adapter installed that is required to connect to the cellular service.

 

90% of the Elitebook 840 G5's do not come with that expensive option.

 

The cases all come with SIM card slots. 

 

Otherwise, the SIM card slot is useless without the WWAN adapter.

 

You can confirm if your notebook has a WWAN adapter by going to the device manager, click to expand the Network adapters device category, and there needs to be one of these model WWAN adapters listed:
