    Hello! :)

    I have had my Notus A12 for about 8 months now, and have used it pretty much every day since I first got it. I have been very happy with it, and never really missed the 3G option.

    Lately though, I have started to feel the need of such a module, because I don't like the idea of a dongle hanging out of the USB port.

    The question is: Does anybody know if it is possible to have such a module installed to the machine now? I never had the factory option, seeing as it was blanked out when I placed my order. People kept mentioning the option for a internal WWAN card, and I do see a spot behind the battery where there's some kind of plastic "flap" that can be removed, and my guess is that this is where a SIM-card is to be put.

    I would like to say thanks in advance for any answers. :)

    I was told that the Notus A12 had the option from the supplier, but Zepto did not buy it with the machine as it would have added £100 on top of the price when the machine was released (and it was expensive enough when it was released).
    So it's not built in.
    The best option is a USB 3G modem.
