Interested in buying one but it says Verizon Wireless, I have US Cellular as a carrier. Does it matter on coverage? Dont see where they list one for US Cellular.

I'd double check with Tactacam but I don't see why not. It's not what YOUR cell service is, I believe it's what towers are in your area. But I would believe they should work on any tower.

I had the Reveal for 24 hrs before taking it back. It took outstanding pics but their app only works on a cell phone or tablet - not my MacBook Pro. My Spypoints work great and I have the app on both my cell and 13" laptop.

I like viewing the pics on my laptop.

Doesn't matter what you use on your cell phone. The camera has its own service, so the key is to ensure that you choose a provider that has a strong signal for the areas where you'll use the camera. So far, I've had really good luck with mine.

We have had great luck with ours. One picture of a possum on a deer carcass and the bobcat sitting patiently at the ass end waiting it’s turn. He put the carcass out for the coyotes but they were leery of the rope tied around it, so all the other critters feasted on it.

It is completely independent of your cell service. Just make sure whichever carrier you choose has service where you set the camera up. Very good cameras in my opinion.

If you have Verizon wireless you need the Verizon Tactacam—if not then you need the other one.

Not necessarily.

You have two choices. AT&T or Verizon. The cell camera company pays the cell bill. You pay the camera company.

Choose wish carrier offers the better coverage in the area you will be running the camera.
