We recommend an AT&T SIM card as their data package has unlimited text and photo messaging for only $19.99 per month. It does not matter which cellular company offers the best coverage in your area. Verizon and Sprint network providers use CDMA technology and the camera requires GSM technology (AT&T or T-Mobile) to operate.
AT&T customer service representatives are not trained to recognize a SIM card can function in a wireless camera. They will debate this application is possible and deny such a plan exists.
AT&T SIM cards must be purchased in person from an AT&T
corporate store; not an AT&T authorized retailer. Type “AT&T
corporate store” into a search engine (i.e. Google or Bing) and
enter your zip code to find the nearest location. Users cannot
request unlimited messaging packages online. Please take
this manual to your local AT&T corporate store to help the rep.

Ensure the AT&T representative adds “Automatic Renewal” to this Pay As You Go SIM card. Packages are good for 30 days as long as your account balance has not expired. The amount of the monthly package will be taken out of the existing account balance every 30 days with “Automatic Renewal”.
