You haven't found a SIM card slot, that slot is meant for an SD memory card. Many computers are coming with integrated card slots so you can store or retrieve data. For example, you might take the memory card out of your digital camera so you can transfer the pictures to the computer.

As for using the computer as a modem, I'm not sue what you want to do, but there is already a dial-up modem supplied in the computer for connection to a regular telephone line. With suitable software, you could receive faxes, for instance, or connect to a dial-up network. Most computers still come with the dial-up modem installed, although most users today connect their computer to a network with Ethernet cables.

The slot is used for camera memory cards such as the SD memory card. No, it cannot be used as a modem. However, there should be a jack just like the jack for your phone on the wall of your house, this is the dial-up modem connection. Simply connect it with a telephone cable to the wall from you laptop.

Where does the sim go in a compaq presario cq56

Hi tefordgal12,
I see you have a SIM that you want to use on your compaq system, I checked in you system specs online and it does not show that it has a 3g modem on it on the issue.
  • On all Laptops the 3g modem can be found inside the system, if you remove the battery you may see a slot for a sim card in the battery bay.
  • All Laptops have the 3g modem in the battery but not all Laptops have a 3g modem installed on it some may have sim slots but does not have the 3g modem installed in it
  • Call HP regarding this concern since they can answer our question most accurately if you give them the serial number of your Compaq Laptop.

I hope that the information I provided helps.
Thanks, have a great day.

My lenovo v460 (i5) seems to have a push-push sim slot installed. how can i check if the version i have has mobile broadband capability?

Hi,

Most Lenovo Computers provide Sim Slots for PC, but they are not equipped with a 3G Modem. You need to get that separately.

The description on Lenovo is 3G ready, meaning you could use it if you have additional parts installed; in this case, a Mini PCI 3g Modem

Hope this helps
