Trail Cam with email and cell Question

[Dollar Trifecta]

I was looking to buy one of the newer trail cams that send the pictures to email and to the cell phone. Problem is I have Verizon Wireless, and most of the cameras need a sim card on the cell phone (which Verizon does not).

I was wondering if it would be possible for me to buy a At&T or Sprint Trac Phone which have the sim card and have the camera send pictures to that?

I know that Smart Scouter has ATT as one of it's options. You might want to go to their website and check it out. Beyond that, I'm unsure about any of the others.

We don't get cell reception in my hunting area. Or else I would have bought one of these the first day they came out.

You should be able to buy a Go-Phone from Cingular and it may send pictures to that?The Moultrie trail camera's have a special 3 or 4 month plan so You can get pictures from Sept,Oct,Nov & Dec during the busiest months of Hunting or go with Oct,Nov and Dec.?The there's the dlccovert trail camera that sends pictures also....talk with your local Cell Phone Provider to see what options You have and what may work the best in your situation?

Keep in mind that if you don't have 3g and unlimited data then this won't work for you.
Transferring that amount of data over the ATT Edge network just won't cut because it's slower than dialup and if it is on 3g then you're going to move so much data then it will rack up your usage quickly. New ATT users can not get unlimited data, they have to get a data package. Past users are grandfathered in.

Here is a website that sells cameras and information on prices, website accounts etc.: http://www.activehunting.com
The page should come up "Active Hunting Solutions". Just select products, gallery (submitted pictures) or whatever information section you wish to see.
In coverage, this opens to the map of U.S.A. You can also email the company if you have any questions.
As an example: subscription package: 80 point is $22.95 per month, a 200 point package is $39.95 per month. A 320x240 image is one point and a 640x480 counts as 2 points. Activation fee is $20.00.
The cost of the cameras vary from $799.95 to $1049.95 depending on what series and color you wish to purchase.
In the photo gallery, unless the color is because images are sent by website etc., I'm not impressed for the amount of dollars one has invested in one of the cameras, plus subscription fees.
Cameras are limited to 2GB SD card maximum.
