Anyone have recommendations? Looking for something that’s reliable and really only looking for pictures and not videos. Currently have AT&T cell. Possibly with solar to not eat batteries too.
Of course not looking to break the bank but with $5 gas it’s a money saver!!
Big ones line-up, little ones bunch-up

Do you own a good trail cam you like? I have bought 2 of the Spypoint Cell-Links to use on my cams I already have and really like them. They are both Nationwide plans and if I have 1 bar of signal or 25% signal strength on the app then it will send pics.....might be slower but it sends pics. I get about 4 to 6 weeks on batteries on them and the cell cams gets whatever it got before. I set the Link to send pics every 2 hrs to save on batteries. I have used these on Primos, Spypoint, Tasco, and Bushnell cams so far. You just need room inside your cam for the flat cable that connects the SD card in your cam to the Link. I pay for year round unlimited plans and it runs $10/month when I pay for the full year up front. So far after 2 yrs on one and 1 yr on the second I like them.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

I have a couple of Browning Dark OP’s cameras, and they take great pictures. But my favorites are the Tactacam Reveal SK cameras. They transmit pics on AT&T. They come with a solar charger, and I never need to mess with them. Here’s one from the Browning. Note the fast shutter speed that caught the bobcat in the air. And here’s one from the power line Tactacam.

Shop the cellular plans before you buy the camera. I wish I would have done this before I bought 4 cameras. I have Stealth Cam and they are OK, but the Tactacam has a much better cellular plan. I don't know what the monthly Browning cell plan is....

I have 4 of the Tacticam Reveal X cams. All with solar panels. They're great.

I have a RECONYX hyper fire cellular and a RECONYX solar battery backup. I’m happy with it. You need the backup battery as the lithium batteries die in this heat and they are $24 a set.
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!
