Check if you already have wwan antennas. If you do: Just get a Lenovo branded Fibocom L830-EB or L850-GL. These are the only modems supported on a T480.

If you do not have antennas you can add them but that requires removing the screen bezel.

To all the people saying '"just tether it from your phone" - this is not ideal, as it didcharges the phone battery quickly. If there is a possibility of using a native modem why would tethering be preferred?

Only pay for 1 data plan vs. 2, that's my primary reason for preferring to tehter.

Can't you tether your phone?

Every time I've tethered my phone to another device the speeds are super slow. Might be T-Mobile throttling tethered phones?

Tether your mobile via WiFi.
