Is support for SIM cards even a thing in laptops, other than the ones that the carriers sell you?
I called Verizon and AT&T tele-sales and they both claim that the only laptops that are supported are the ones that they sell, which doesn't include a whole lot. Verizon pitched me a USB modem, which doesn't really appeal to me, since I don't want to worry about losing/forgetting to bring it.
My work-issued laptop is an HP Elitebook that has a Verizon SIM card. It works fine in that laptop.
Just to test it, I put that SIM card in two different laptops that have SIM trays (two different Lenovo Thinkpad Yogas). It didn't work in either one, though I suspect that you probably have to actually activate the specific device on the Verizon end.
Does anybody have any exprience using SIM cards in laptops (other than those provided by the mobile carriers)?
