-You can also choose to use a **Raspberry Pi Zero** which will save you some $15 from the total price, but for the sake of simplicity, we'll be using the **Raspberry Pi 3 Model B** on this tutorial. I've only tested these two Raspberry Pi's, but I see no reason why Virtual Modem wouldn'​t work with other Raspberry Pi models. ​+You may use a **Raspberry Pi Zero W** which will save you some $30 from the total price, but for the sake of user-friendliness, we'll be sticking with the **Raspberry Pi 3 Model B** on this tutorial. I've only tested these two Raspberry Pi's, but I see no reason why Virtual Modem wouldn'​t work with other Raspberry Pi models. It might even work on other platforms and architectures,​ but I cannot offer support on these. If you are having trouble getting the script to work, try to strictly adhere to the parts list above and see if it works then.
