[QUOTE="1984dog, post: 5512010, member: 22861"] Cellular coverage is a crap shoot. I used to have ATT, but got where I had no phone service on the hunting property. Switched to Verizon and had great coverage for probably 6+ years. Purchased some verizon cellular trail cams and my service went to pot along with phone service. Wasted some money on Verizon cell cams. Switched phone service over to C-Spire and phone service is now good. Had a guest down and he had great service with ATT on cell phone. Slowly purchased 6 ATT cell cams and they work some of the time. I am convinced that the cell phone carriers know where there customers are as phone service changes over long period of times. I am almost certain that ATT simply takes some time off at times (data service) as I have watched numerous times when I had deer or turkeys in front of me for long periods of time and the camera and did not get any cellular pictures. I placed a Browning (non-cellular) camera on the same tree - and guess what? My cellular cameras miss a LOT of deer. If I had to guess, I'd say my cellular cam only picks up about 70% of available images as I have data gaps that last hours at a time. I suspect that ATT simply turns off data service to some of their towers at random times. If any of you guys think you may have the same problem, try putting a non-cellular camera on the same tree as your cellular camera and then compare images between the two. I think you will be surprised. [/QUOTE]
