    Any suggestion for what kind of software that can access my built in modem in my x201? My modem is Qualcomm Gobi 2000 HS-USB Modem 9205

    I need to access my modem mainly for SMS reasons, sometimes for calling (when possible)

    Thanks

    Hi I dont have the data plan from Verizon. Any ideas of a 3rd party software rather than those service providers?

    Thanks

    I tried the software from Vodafone and Verizon, I cannot use it with another provider's card. Any software for modem access would be great .... Thanks
