    Hi,

    I just did a clean install of Windows 7 on my T500, and I am wondering if I need to install Access Connections in order to connect to the Verizon network with my WWAN card. I installed the Verizon driver through system update, is that all I need? I don't really like Access Connections...

    Thanks

    You don't need access connections. VZaccess manager should be more than enough. What card are you using? I have the Gobi card

    I have no idea which card it is - I bought it directly from Lenovo after I purchased my T500 and installed it myself.

    I don't have VZaccess, where can I get it?

    Does your card have GSM capability?
