For those going with the Coverts or other brands and the prepaid data plans, what cell service is needed for them? How does it work?

I have ATT and it works perfect no issues.

It is very simple and no more hassle dealing with ATT on the phone or in store. All you do is go online to a simple website to activate and boom its done, camera is working.

THen simple setup of the camera just like any other

It's really a matter of cell service where you are going to use the camera. In the past, ATT has been the best option price wise. Verizon became an option last year but was much more expensive per month to operate and the cameras cost more up front because of licensing. In the next 30-60 days the data plan with Verizon is supposed to get much more competitive with ATT. Later this year Sprint plans will also be an option.

What kind of cell service do you have where you hunt? It's been my experience that the newer cell cameras have better cell reception than actual cell phones, so if you can get cell service on your phone at the location you want to use a camera, it should work fine.

I got this text yesterday and called att and they don't show I even have data on that line. They think it was sent in error and put a note on my account that if there are any charges they will be reversed. We shall see.....

weird, i dont show data either, BUT i just got a email yesterday saying it was using too much data.... IDK whats going on.

Finally !! Camera is working again. Evidently data plans are being 'updated ' and mine was changed. My rep here in Tyler stayed with it until we figured it out. Took me going to his store, with me online chatting with Covert and him online chatting with his tech support. After an hour, switched my plan to .10/minute data and added the $19.99 unlimited texting package (how it was originally set up). Since no calls are made on camera, will be auto pay of $19.99 per month. Working like a charm now.
