Your account and coverage area

Note: If you purchased the

modem from a GSM service

provider, you may already have

an account and a SIM card.

Otherwise, your retailer should

be able to give you the names of

companies that provide these

items.

YoumusthaveanaccountwithaGSMserviceprovidertouse

themodem.Tousethemodem’s3Gcapability,youraccount

mustbewithaserviceproviderthatoffersHSPA,HSPA+or

UMTSservice.(Themodemisbackwardscompatiblewith2G

service.)

Whenyouobtainyouraccount,youaregivenaSubscriber

IdentityModule(SIM)cardcontainingaccountinformation.

Beforeyouusethemodem,youmustinserttheSIMcardinto

it.

Yourabilitytoobtainservicedependsonthesefactors:

Note: The fee for service is

usually higher when you are

roaming (connected to a network

other than the one belonging to

your service provider).

•Networkcoverage—Youmustbewithinthenetwork

coveragearea.

•Serviceprovider—Ifyouarewithinthecoverageareaofa

networkthatisnotoperatedbyyourownserviceprovider,

youcanobtainserviceonlyifthereisaroamingagreement

betweenyourserviceproviderandthenetworkoperator.

•Accountprovisions—Youraccountmayrestrictyour

usagetocertainnetworksorlimittheamountoftimeyou

canusethenetwork.

•Frequencyband—Youcannotconnecttonetworks

operatinginbandsnotsupportedbyyourmodem,

regardlessofroamingagreementsoraccountprovisions.
