    Probably not. There were supposed to be models with SIM card slots and I'm sure 5830TG was available with it (it had a cover for SIM card at the back).
    That said, I guess you would have known if you had this feature - it would show in device manager and it would be visible somewhere (additional small cover).

    In theory though, model of 4830 with SIM card was supposed to be available.

    Yeah i know..the laptop has that look right? If it does support sim card, how do i check in device manager?

    I have this Huawei 3G Module Version Driver , is it anyway related to 3G sim cards?

    That means nothing - as I wrote earlier there were supposed to be versions with 3G modems which does not mean that there actually were any.
    Once again - look in the device manager.
