The X7 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 CSM-based networks such as
AT&T® and T-Mobile®, as well as most European WWAN providers.
Figure 13 shows the size of the SIM card compared to a quarter (
NOTE
: The SIM card shown is
blank - a valid card has the customer’s account code printed on it).
You must have a SIM card installed in order to use your Gobi radio to connect to a GSM WWAN
network in Europe and to certain providers in the United States. Refer to

The ARMOR X7 also provides a card reader for a micro SD or SDHC card in capacities of 8, 16,
or 32 GB. These cards are about half the size of a SIM card and are used as removable flash
drives. The socket for the micro SD card is located inside the X7 case, as shown in Figure 94.
The Windows operating system recognizes the card as a removable drive, just like a USB
memory stick.
