Are there any monthly fees, etc., or just the cost of the go-card???

How much for a card??? How long does the card last, and how many images can you get off it???

Yes, it is basically another cell phone bill.

It's $19.99 a month at AT&T for our cameras to be able to send unlimited amount of pics. We have two for our pig traps and I have one for a deer camera. You can get a plan for $9.99 a month but it's only 1,000 pictures.

The card you are purchasing is just a sim card to transmit your pictures, no pictures are stored on that card. The camera has an SD card slot that you will need to buy a card for, they go up pretty dang big these days, I doubt you would fill up a card before running batteries dead. The files sent are only like 70kb or something small so you can put a ton of pictures on SD cards.

Is it a yearly contract, or can you just purchase a month at a time???

we just did it month by month, I believe last year it was about 20 a month for what we got but if 999 will get you 1000 pics that's what will get this year, I did not now about that plan

Im looking at the new Bushnell HD Wireless at Bass Pro.
Only wireless HD they sell.
Got all the bells and whistles, and the first month's data is free.
Sorta pricey, but I been saving up my Bass Pro gift cards.

Is that $20/month for all 3 cameras you're running (sorry Anatidae)? Or $20 per camera?

It's a monthly contract. It will stop sending pics as soon as the 30 days ends.

Get the $20 unlimited text package. You have to specifically tell them this at the store. I paid them 20 bucks and my camera stopped sending pics after ten days. Found out they put it on the wrong plan. $20 will last about ten days if you don't get the unlimited text package.

What if ATT doesn't work where you hunt? Does CSpire or other companies offer the plans?

AT&T or Verizon will only work with the camera. Cspire won't work, but it will send pics to a phone from any carrier.
