How do I view my trail camera pictures on my phone?

Almost everyone has a smart phone these days and you can use them to view your trail camera photos. Typically when you have a iPhone the best thing to purchase is going to be an iPhone SD card reader. You would want to purchase one made by Apple as we have seen issues with other brands. If you have an Android device you could use the Stealth Cam 4-IN-1 reader. It seems to work well with Android phones but has issues with iPhones.

How do I choose what cellular service I need for a cellular trail camera?

When you are looking for a cellular trail camera sometimes it can be confusing as to what provider you choose. Generally you will want to choose whatever you get the best reception with not who you have as your carrier. If you have AT&T but you get better Verizon service where you are wanting to place the camera then you would want to choose the Verizon model. We hope this helps you to choose the right carrier for your cellular game camera.
