This router features an embedded Verizon 3G/4G modem and you will need active Verizon service to use it. If you already have an active Verizon 4G line of service you plan to use, you can simply swap your SIM card over to the BR1 when you receive it (the BR1 has a standard-sized SIM slot - if you plan to use a microSIM, you'll need the micro-to-standard SIM adapter). If you need to sign up for new service, call us at 866-347-8673.
