I think a lot of the rights thing was due to a falling out with a guy Snyper had promoting and selling cameras. Seems he was trying to go behind people's backs and get better deals and got caught. His cell service was through one of the head guys who decided it was time to shut the cameras down since this guy started bad-mouthing the company. From everything I understand the head guys owned the cell contracts and were just doing him a favor up until he got caught, not that they could cut yours. If you look up Pat Howard on FB you will find a post telling the story so to speak. Definitely hear that they work better in more remote areas with limited signals. My only hang-up is when I had AT&T I had trouble sending a text from our property, let alone a picture. That was a few years ago though.
