Anyone else get the mini integrated cellular broadband card for verizon built into their xpsm1210.... I really think I got ripped off, I'll probably never use it, and it doesn't work! I've been on technical support for hours over the past few days... Verizon seems to think it's dells fault.... Verizon can't figure it out cause Dell has this special software that they aren't used to... let me know if anyone else's is working ok... I think the MDM number may be wrong, but theres no clear way to change it in the settings...

Thanks,

Joe

If you aren't willing to pay for EVDO through Verizon, then you do not need it.

I believe it utilizes SIM card technology. You need to configure SIM card numbers with Verizon in order for it work (apart from having to pay 40$ or whatever it is per month)

yeah my place of work told me they would pay for it for me, and now they're not... I wish I could send back the verizon card, but I doubt I'll have much luck doing that
