Page 23
Note:
The TC55 accepts a full size SIM card. If using a micro or nano SIM card, a third-party SIM adapter is
required.
TC55AH, TC55BH and TC55CH with LTE Data devices require an activated SIM card. Obtain the card
from a service provider.TC55CH with 3G Voice & Data devices do not require a SIM card.
On TC55CH with LTE Data devices, if this is a new account, ensure that the account is set up for LTE
data. Obtain a SIM card from Verizon. If you have an existing LTE account that you want to move over to
this device, just install your currently active SIM card. No additional activation will be required. If this is a
new account: provide the device IMEI number (located on the label under the battery) and the SIM card
number to your service provider. After the service provider activates your account, install the SIM card.
The TC55CH must be in good LTE coverage for activation to take place. Following the on-screen process.
On TC55CH with 3G Voice & Data devices, if this is a new account,: provide the device IMEI number
(located on the label under the battery) to your service provider. After the service provider activates your
account, following the on-screen process for activation.
