U111, U132 and U142 Supported 3G DataCards
We recommend you use the 'find in this page' function in your browser to search this list - this is usually under 'edit' in the menu at the top of your browser.
Notes
To identify which USB reader model you need you will need to know the manufacturer and their model name for your card. It is not always easy to get this information from your operator, so if in doubt we suggest you contact your local Elan stockist for advice about which cards operators are selling now in your area.
Operators often offer more than one model, and also discontinue old models and start shipping new ones, so this list is not exhaustive. Some operators also use the same product name to cover more than one card model, which can be confusing. However if you already have your 3G card you should be able to work out which USB adapter you need to support it from here. (The manufacturer's name and model number is usually on a label on the back of the card.)
Option Wireless make a large number of different models, and the best way to be sure which model you have is to check the letter at the start of the serial number (on the back of the card).
Note that if Wireless LAN is integrated into your card, this will not work via a USB adapter.

*Notes
- Note on Option Models - There are many different Option card models, and operators do not always refer to the Option Wireless model name. The most reliable way to differentiate between them is using the two letters at the start of the serial number.
- Verizon PC5740 or KPC650 card + U132 combinations support a manual connection, but the Verizon VZAccess software does not recognise the card. We are working with Verizon to add this function.
- The PC5740, PC5220 and PX500 cards may be labelled with 'Audiovox' or 'UTStar'. If you are going to be using one of these cards, please download the latest drivers. (Download this file, and replace the previous version in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory.)
Cards Not Listed :
Most cards are supplied badged by an operator. The list above is not a comprehensive list of all operators supplying supported cards; if you have one of the listed card models but have purchased it from a different operator it should operate correctly in the U132, please contact us for guidance if you are unsure. Re-branded cards usually state the manufacturer's name and model number on the reverse label.
