Anyone else get this? Basically what I get out of it is that my camera will be useless in another year.

If you own any Verizon 3G Spartan GoCam cameras (models VZWb, VZWi, VCTb, VCTi), please read this important message.

The following information is from Verizon:

On December 31, 2019, Verizon plans to retire its CDMA-only network (1x/EVDO, 2G/3G).

I have to do some more digging the more I think about it I believe mine is 4G, so I'm not sure why I would have got this email.

I have two 3g and one 4g. My 4g has the big flat antenna.

The 4g will also send videos.

Wow, I just bought another one. I have 3, one being the newer 4g

I haven’t gotten the email yet but I am running a 3g camera for my farm in KY. If this is the case I’m not too happy about it

 

[wi_drenxl]

I looked mine is a 3G so I guess in another year I just have a really expensive regular trail camera

I read on a different thread here that the reason for no more 3G as soon as the end of the month is the carriers are making room for the new 5G coming soon to a area near you.

there is another thread about this and the end date has been moved up. To as soon as the end of this month. that was the whole premise for the thread.

I hope its all bs and those that have these cam's will get the full year

As long is the camera is activated by the end of the month it will be able to be used until 12/31/19. After that they will no longer activate them

 

[Debaser]

Wow. I was thinking about getting one of these. I'll stay away now. Even the 4G ones aren't safe forever because there's always going to be a new thing coming to make them obsolete.

 

[Kick them up]

I got it as well yesterday. Definitely not whatI wantedto hear. Glad I didn't invest in the solar battery charging set up.

Yeah it's pretty bad that a camera that i paid $500 for will be no good after 3 hunting seasons

I think this is why Moultrie Mobile appeals to me. It's separate from the camera. So if it becomes obsolete, you're not just stuck with a regular overpriced trail camera. Although I think they're only 3G so I would wait for the next version.
