change the sim card (another carrier)
stay in places with good cellular network coverage.

I believe you need to have a GPRS card installed in addition to the sim (if the provider requires the sim to connect). The GPRS card would connect to teh WWAN (mini-card) slot.

The sim slot is in the battery bay, as you have obviously already found. The WLAN and WWAN card slots are both on the left side under the keyboard on the D830. The steps for getting to those cards and removing or installing them is in the service manual for the D830, available on the Dell support website.
