That slot is an ExpressCard Slot for WWAN cards that require a sim card in order to connect to the provider's network. Not all WWAN cards require sim cards to connect. If you get an ExpressCard WWAN card, and that card requires a sim to connect, then usually there will be a place on the card itself to put the sim. The sim slot in the battery bay is because most mini-cards do not have room to add the required sim card slot and still fit into the system.

My Dell studio xps 1640 lap has sim card slot for internet connection , when I insert the sim card it doesn't read .so what can i do to make it functional?

i would suggest calling technical support to see if the sim card you are using is even compatible with your laptop, you should not be having this problem if it is.

How do you remove a sim card from laptop dell xps?

The sim card is located behind the battery. You should see it if you take the battery out, if you push it in it will slide out. Now, what is it for?

Sir i have a dell inspiron1464 laptop but the simslot is very large then sim how to insert?

Are you sure it is the SIM slot you are looking at? There may also be a memory card reader, which would be much bigger than a SIM card.

If you remove the laptop's main battery pack, you should find another slot hidden in the battery bay, which will be the correct size for a standard SIM card.

How can i use the sim card slot given behind my battery of dell studio 15 laptop? which type of sim card is supportable?

The SIM card is for a mobile data plan. If you go to say...AT&T and purchase a wireless data plan on the cellular network and insert the sim in the back of your laptop you will have internet access on the cellular network.
