x200 Sim card activation? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I recently bought a cheap crappy Sim card to try and get it to work on a ThinkPad x200. Has anyone here done this successfully before?

I feel like I am just being an idiot. I'm not sure where to go to look for the relevant Sim card information to configure and I'm not even sure if I'm doing anything correctly.

I bought a SIM card for my T470 (4G/LTE) and had no issues; it just worked out of the box. I think it depends on the cell service provider. Reach out to them and ask. Data-only SIMs are more common than you’d think.
