    Hello, all. It's been quite a while since I have been here but I am glad to see everyone is still around. I was looking up some specs on a CF-53 and the brief description online said it had "AT&T 4G LTE" mobile broadband card. I was under the impression that those weren't dedicated to AT&T and that you could also use a Verizon SIM card to gain LTE coverage access. I know on my CF-31 it is that way and on our CF-53's at work, but is there really such an option that would lock it down to only being able to use AT&T?

    Furthermore, if it really is tied down to AT&T, is there a way to swap out that module to put in a Verizon one?

    Thank you for your time.

    There is a different modem for the AT&A and Verizon LTE. Just a sims swap will not work.

    Are those modules (the AT&T and Verizon) able to be swapped out in the field by me? Can anyone suggest any place that would straight up trade me a Verizon one for the AT&T one?
