Cingular and Sprint: Contact Multi-Tech, a certified national activation agent for Cingular and Sprint to set up one of these accounts.

Verizon and Others: For Verizon and other accounts, contact their activation agents directly.

3. Activate the Wireless Modem

See the Cingular, Sprint, Verizon, and general Customer Activation Customer Notices included with your modem for a list of the information you must give to the activation agent.

Write these numbers down. One is the code to allow you to configure the wireless modem and the other is the phone number for establishing an Internet connection.

If you have any questions or want to set up your account, contact Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. at: 800-972-2439 or 763-717-5863.
