Hello

A question for OcUK.

I've been reading through the manual for the Ultima and note it has a SIM card slot so you can put a mobile broadband SIM card in there. I also note however that this is a factory option for the module itself.

So the question is, does the laptop have this module installed or would I need to order it and install it myself? I know I could probably take the cover off and look myself but I don't have tools available and wouldn't know what to look for and it seems you need software to enable it anyway.

I know I could just put the mobile broadband dongle into a USB slot but I'd much prefer to keep it clean and use the SIM card slot.

If you need to order it then can OcUK provide these and how much are they?

Thanks

Mike
 
Well it's nothing definite but from one of the other re-sellers of this chassis it is charged as a seperate (special request) option that is not normally shown in the drop down customize lists. I'd imagine its the same on ours.

Looks like there's definite interest in this. I'm currently in the US too so might do some local research into it and see if I can pick one up cheap :)

I'm assuming the modem comes pre-installed like you found out but the seperate module enables you to insert a SIM card? But then again you say you've managed to insert a SIM card already?

Clevo UK have now sent me a reply, these modules are in stock and cost £201 plus VAT and shipping.

Seems a little steep :( guess having a dongle sticking out the back of a USB port doesn't look too bad after all lol
