Setting up the FRITZ!Box for use with an A1 mobile network connection

The FRITZ!Box is optimally prepared for mobile connections with A1. Simply insert your SIM into the FRITZ!Box and enter the PIN in the user interface.

The complete FRITZ!Box range of functions for internet, telephony, and smart home is then available to all of the devices in your home network without restriction.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.

1 Inserting the SIM card into the FRITZ!Box

  1. Insert the SIM card (mini-SIM, 25 x 15 x 0.76 mm) that you received from your mobile network provider into the SIM card slot with the slanted edge of the card on the left and the contacts facing down.

    Important:Do not use SIM card holders with micro or nano-SIM cards that have already been punched out because they can get jammed and damage the SIM slot.

  2. Push the SIM card gently into the SIM card slot until it clicks into place. A few millimeters of the SIM card protrude from the SIM card slot.
