| We recommend using a SIM card from a carrier from whichever country you are located in. | ||
| **Important for international users:** If you are located outside of the United States, we recommend using a SIM card from a carrier from whichever country you are located in. The Verizon SIM that comes with Orbic devices is intended for use in the US, and may not provide optimal results for detecting IMSI catchers in other countries. A local SIM card will ensure better detection of local carriers and cell site simulators in your region. |

This paragraph is misleading, you cannot use that device at all outside the US. Swapping SIMs won't help

The orbic can be used in canada and most of south america successfully but your point stands that this paragraph should be modified.
