Bought my FIL the covert black ops Verizon and like the reviews online it eats up batteries, like 2 weeks maybe on a new set and that's with at best average amount of pics. My uncle has a couple of the Covert ATt and loves them, much better on batteries. I went with the Verizon because of th better network and my FIL has Verizon so I wanted to make it easier.

They are awesome though, you can turn the settings on and off so you don't have to get texted but can check them online. My FIL sets it up on his coon trap so he knows as soon as he has one, lol. Whatever works, lots of cool uses like that.

It's really nice to have one for a new spot, because you can check it out without going in there and know if it's worth it after just a day instead of leaving it for a long time and getting a crap ton of leaves blowing or absolutely no pics.

I have 2 that did the same thing. I called them and the cameras come setup to send pics everytime it takes a picture which means its constantly hitting the cell tower and drain the battery. I set mine up to send every 4 hours and the batteries last about 3 months now.

Also buy enloop rechargeable batteries. They last longer than store bought AA and you can add a solar rechargeable to your unit if you want.
