A:AnswerIt's required to purchase a Verizon service plan or a Verizon prepaid phone card to register this Verizon Sim card in your device and get a new phone number
A:AnswerNot that I am aware of. The Sim is to get your device to work. You own the equipment, you just oay for the plan. If you have doubts, you should check with Verizon.
Good luck and enjoy.
