Your phone uses a 4G LTE SIM (Subscriber Identity Module).
The 4G LTE SIM is a small, rectangular plastic card that
stores your phone number, information about your wireless
service, and other information such as messages and
contacts.

If you purchased your phone at a Verizon Wireless store, the
SIM card is activated and ready to use. If you ordered a new
phone, the card may need to be activated before you can use
it. For more information about activating the SIM card, visit:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/4GSIM

.

Caution!

Turn the phone off before installing or removing the
SIM card. Do not bend or scratch the SIM card. Take
care when handling, installing, or removing the SIM
card, and avoid exposing the SIM card to static
electricity, water, or dirt. Keep the SIM card out of
reach of small children.
