Your service provider may need to know:
• The billing information to use to collect payment for your
network usage.
• The ESN (Electronic Serial Number) or MEID (Mobile
Equipment Identifier) assigned to your modem during the
manufacturing process. (The ESN or MEID is printed on a
label on the modem and can be displayed in the software.)
This number is used to help authenticate your account
when you connect for service.
You require from your service provider:
• An activation code that gives you access to configure the
account.
• A phone number for your modem.
• Additional information specific to your service provider
such as:
· A user ID (username) and password to authenticate your
network connection.
· A SID (System IDentifier) that identifies your home
network area and is used together with your phone
number to determine if you are "home" or "roaming".
