The Verizon 4G LTE SIM card is compatible with any Verizon 4G LTE certified device that uses the same size SIM card. The 4G LTE SIM card can move from one device to another, and your wireless service will support the services that are compatible with your new device and service plan. To see which devices are compatible with the Verizon 4G LTE SIM card, visit verizonwireless.com/certifieddevice

3. Step 3. Position the SIM card and/or microSD card in the tray correctly, aligning the cutout tab and gently snap into place. Be sure the edges are aligned.
