I think we have these in mumbai also. Dear Sadikk, Greetings and finally I have someone on earth who knows the reason why it is there. COuld you further explore to let me know which operator (like AIRTEL, VODAFONE) configures well with DELL. What type of changes I need to make on my laptop to get connected to the EDGE / GPRS. Very much looking forward for your valuable response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 I think its for 3G support and not for edge; hence not usable in India at present... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 ^^^ If some facility is present and which is not provisioned for use in India, how will the technical people help you out? You can only seek some hacker's help to get it running. Not only DELL, even Nokia does not help if such facilities are locked. And the CC execs cannot go out of the way to help you out as their jobs will be at stake. So even if they know the way out, there will be no illumination from their side.

SUDYEcaZ 67 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) The SIM slot is ment to be used with DELL wireless 5520 card, which is a WWAN card, This is available internally, depending on ur configuration(i dont have it), its is for 3g data service....WCDMA/UMTS....so most probably the card will be missing on all Indian laptops... for 3G on CDMA Dell Wireless 5720 card/module is used...
