This Quick Start describes how to install the Zoom 3G+ Modem to a computer or 3G router and make an Internet connection. You need to have or sign 
up for a mobile broadband service plan, and then connect the modem to your computer or 3G router. More detailed information is in the User Manual. 

 

Before You Begin 

 
Before you can connect to the Internet with your new modem, you must: 

1

 

Have or sign up for a mobile broadband service plan. 

2

 

Slide the service provider’s SIM card into your modem. 

3

 

Install the modem on your computer or 3G router and make an Internet connection. 

 

 

Step 1:  Have or Sign Up For a Mobile Broadband Service Plan 

 

Most countries have one or more GSM service providers who offer mobile broadband service. When you sign up for service, you will get a SIM card to 
slide into your modem. As you travel, you may save money and get better coverage by using different service providers for different countries or regions. 
Wherever you are, just make sure that you slide in the SIM for the service provider you want to use. You should select a GSM service provider who uses 
at least one of this modem’s mobile broadband frequencies, ideally 850, 1900, or 2100 MHz since these frequencies support the modem’s highest 
speed.  
 
Note that some (but not all) services permit you to use your mobile phone’s voice/data SIM card in the modem. If you plug the modem into a Windows or 
Macintosh computer that has a headset and/or a microphone and speakers, you should be able to make and receive voice calls while also using the 
modem for the Internet. This is discussed in more detail in the User Manual. 
 
You may also want to have a data or voice/data SIM card dedicated to the modem, not shared with a mobile phone. 

 

If you need to sign up for service, we recommend that you bring the IMEI number of your Zoom 3G+ modem with you. 

To find the IMEI number, 

you need to remove the modem’s cap and cover as detailed in step 2 below.  The IMEI number is on the backside of the cover.   
 
Since you are using your own modem, most service providers will not require you to make a long-term commitment.  Most will allow you to simply 
arrange for a monthly data plan with no long-term commitment or for a prepaid plan.   

 
If you want to use AT&T service in the US, you can do that.  We suggest that you go to the following link to get helpful information about signing up for

Step 2: Slide the Service Provider's SIM Card into Your Modem 

 

1

 

Slide the cap off the modem.  Position the modem so the silver-colored USB connector is toward your left and the Zoom logo is facing away from 
you.  To the right of the connector is the cover, which you should remove by sliding it to the right about 1/8 inches and then lifting it.  The microSD 
memory and SIM card slots are now exposed. 

 

2

 

Hold the SIM card with its angled edge at upper right, and then carefully slide the card under the silver bracket all the way to the left until the card 
stops.  

 

Tip:

  If you are also inserting a microSD memory card for your modem, you should insert it now.   MicroSD cards can be used to store data on your 

modem or to expand the amount of memory in your modem’s phone book. The modem supports standard microSD memory cards with up to 8 
GB storage capacity. 

 

 

3

 

Replace the back panel cover.  In doing that, first put the small tab on the bottom of the cover into the modem’s slot, with the cover almost flush 
with the modem. Then slide the cover toward the silver-colored USB connector.
