-You can also choose to use a **Raspberry Pi Zero**which will save you $10-$15 from the total price, but you'll have to include extra adapters, USB hubs, etc). For the sake of simplicity ​in this tutorial, we'll be going with the fully features ​**Raspberry Pi 3 Model B**. +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 any Raspberry Pi or even other Linux platforms. If you have success with the other platformsI'd love to hear from you! :-)
