Sim card for SM-P610

[StoneMonarch]

Just got the SM-P610 and liking it a lot. I noticed that the SD card tray has a spot for a SIM card as well. After looking in the slot it appears to have contacts for a SIM card to be accepted. Upon inserting my SIM and turning on the device it appears to not work. Now here's the question, Does the tablet have the hardware to actually accept a SIM card and connect to the towers. Along with that, is it software locked in some way? Can we bypass this lock somehow?

I guess the motherboard of the P610 and P615 are different, the frame with slot is standard for Galaxy Tab S6 lite

Boards and SIM/microSD reader are exactly the same between 610 and 615: https://fccid.io/A3LSMP615/Internal-Photos/2-A3LSMP615-Internal-photo-4647951 (see the "SM-P615/610" text printed on the boards) except that the 610 lacks some antennas and I guess the software is different too.

The pbc is the same between the two but the 610 is missing some ics, id assume they are for the lte.
