Every HP Elitebook 840 G5 has a SIM card slot.
What 90% of them don't have is the optional and expensive WWAN adapter that connects to the cellular service.
All the SIM card does is allow you to access your specific mobile carrier's network.
In order for mobile broadband to work your notebook must have one of the following WWAN adapters listed in the device manager under the Network Adapters device manager category:
LTE CAT4: Huawei HP lt4132, LTE/HSPA+ w/GPS
LTE CAT9: Fibocom Intel XMM 7360 LTE-Advanced
The part numbers for these adapters can be found in chapter 3 of the service manual at the link below:
