ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer
The X10gx is equipped with a SIM card socket for use with some WWAN network providers. A
SIM card is a small electronic card that contains your GSM subscriber ID, billing information,
and network permissions. The card allows you to easily transport your subscriber information to
another computer or subscriber device. SIM cards are used by GSM-based networks such as
AT&T® and T-Mobile®, as well as most European WWAN providers.
