    Hey,

    those of you who have a UMTS card insode your Thinkpad, is it possible for you to use the SIM card of your mobile via SIM Access Profile? That is, you have somewhere a (software?) option to remotely use your mobile phones SIM card via Bluetooth.

    Many recent mobile phones can do this (list here http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_Access_Profile), but I'm clueless to whether any UMTS card can make use of this.

    I ask this because I don't want to swap my SIM card from my phone, and so it would affect my data plan for my next 24 month contract (so I'd maybe have to make two contracts... which isn't exactly what I want).
