-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. Feel free to report your discoveries at our Discord channel (link below)
