Just got mine, do I need to visit a store to get it activated? Can I activate it online?

Like so many things, it depends. I already had a prior one activated (which has its own telephone number for reference and connections) so when I got a new one to replace the one that had just failed, I had no trouble getting back on line. If this is a first time activation, you would need to: go to a store, do a phone call, or (maybe) be able to do this on line. If you have a Verizon phone/data account already, the monthly cost (data dependent and now would be folded into your current monthly data limit) would show up on your phone bill. You may need a Wi-Fi connection to download the connection/driver software at first to set up the wireless modem action then go from there. Like so many things, it depends.

You need a SIM card to activate it if you have a already have a SIM card you can go online and login to your Verizon account if you already have one and activate it. You can also just call from you Verizon phone *611 or just go to the store for them to activate it and if you don't have a SIM card they will give you one . Hope this helps if you have a 4G LTE phone with a normal SIM card you can put that in it and will work also.

The one I bought was a replacement for a friend who had one go bad. I switched his sim card over from the one he already had. And it worked fine. I imagine you would have to obtain an activated sim card from your provider if you do not already have one. Sorry that is all I know about it.

Contact Verizon and find out their plans and rates. I purchasedmy device and never used it because I was able to obtain other service.

We were able to activate our Pantech aircard via telephone with a Verizon representative. If you already have a Verizon account I would think you'd be able to activate the device online after logging into your Verizon account and adding the device to your account.

I simply activated it from the phone itself. The phone number was still active with Verizon, so it was an activate process. Call Verizon using the number on your bill and they should talk you through it. As I recall, I charged the phone, turned it on, and was directed to the set up. It was surprisingly easy. The old phone that it replaced was deactivated.

It is activated at the store you bought it from...but, you do not start using minutes until you enter the pin# into the phone

If it's preloaded then you would have to call to actually activate it it only takes a couple min

You have to activate it on line or by phone. You just need the serial No. which they give you on a card. It comes with a minimum amount of minutes and days. I think it was 20 min and 30 days. But purchasing more time is easy and inexpensive. I usually get the 1 year.

Yes you need it for the activation at the beginning. Afterwards you can also play offline if you want to.

I bought my SmartStart online. The merchant who sold the unit to me is an authorized installer. Once I had the unit installed I contacted the merchant who completed some remote testing to ensure they could see the unit and it was responding correctly. They then provided a link and a code for me to activate the subscription.If you are not buying through an authorized seller, I believe most installers will initialize the unit and subscription for about .5 hours of their billable rate... Assuming that the unit is installed correctly and functioning as expected.

I bought the sim card first and then activate it. The sim card is very cheap tho.

no you can activate it from your phone by going to prepaid and it will tell you what to do from there

You can activate it anywhere, No CD needed, just the code. And it will update until the subscription expires.

It's brand new so I would assume you could register it although I didn't see a card in the paperwork or anything about doing it on line.

You can activate it. But you cannot use it - get credit for it, unless you have a credit card registered to a UK address. However as I no longer have a UK credit card, I asked my dad in the UK to buy me a top up voucher from a newsagents in the UK.( I wanted to have credit on it so that I could text him when I landed at the airport in the UK). He then emailed me the code which I entered into my phone a few days before I left, in the US. So this is a way round it if you have a friend or relative in the UK. Otherwise you can get credit for it when you arrive at the airport, UK side.

I didn't have to unlock mine when I purchased it. I just called boost and activated it.

I purchased this item and it works ok. You have to go on line to register and activate it. The directions aren't written to well. If you are have problems I would return it it and buy a Belkin.
