# Getting started on a Modem/Router/MiFi devices

2. Enable Roaming on your phone settings

3. Wait for constant signal and take Surfroam SIM out of the phone

4. Place SIM into your **router**, turn it ON

Then check and set your **router** settings:

5. Network connection type set to 2G/3G/4G automatic

6. Data Roaming enabled

7. Network selection set automatic

8. APN profile set:
APN name: globaldata

Pocket routers depending on manufacturer may not support our advanced feature - remote location profile switching. To activate it properly in a new country, please put Surfroam SIM in any phone for a few minutes to get signal. The phone should be unlocked and have roaming turned on. After that, you may switch SIM back to the router and use service.
