It allows incoming and outgoing calls to work properly.  When you first make a call, **make sure to dial a number that is not running on VoIP technology** (Google Voice, Hangouts, Magic Jack and WhatsApp numbers are all using VoIP). You'll need to call a standard cellular or landline phone number based within the U.S.   **Attention: International Calling is currently unavailable.**  [International calling requires you to dial 1 first](https://support.freedompop.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025986653?hsLang=en), you can make international phone calls *after* the setup process.  You may also need to send or receive a text message to get texting services started.
