Ok. so this is my first post on digit forum...! Well, i've got multiple questions related to the same thing..
I'm planning to buy a laptop at around 38k in mid July (preferably Acer or Toshiba). The thing is, I don't want to pay too much for just surfing the internet. Using 2G internet by connecting my Nokia is what i'm doing right now. But it takes a lot of battery power and all those wiring or bluetooth thing is a bit nuisance.
I know that some of the dell systems come with a slot for inserting SIM card (usually placed in the battery compartment). So my questions are:
1) What is the term used to search for laptop with this slot..? I've come across WWAN but i'm not sure if it is the right term.
2) Just assume i'm using Airtel 2G GSM and i recharge Rs.98 monthly to get 2GB of data. Can I insert this SIM card into that slot and use internet on my laptop.? Will it work.?
3) Now if I don't get a laptop with that slot, is there any USB dongle that can house this 2G GSM SIM card (which i use on my mobile) and allow me to use the internet..? (please provide link to product homepage)
4) Will the mobile operators allow this..? I mean using a normal mobile SIM card on a internet access device (no call, no texts, just internet)
