Decide whether you will be using Premium service (recommended,
included with Spartan Camera data plans or first month free trial when you
use Verizon™ data) or Auto service by reviewing the information in the
next section, Premium vs. Auto. If you will be using Premium, go to Premium
Setup on page 4. If you will be using Auto, go to Auto Setup on page 5.
Premium vs. Auto
We recommend that you run your camera using our Premium service. The
following table should help you decide. Every camera comes with one free
month of Premium service, which does not require that you subscribe to
anything or provide any sort of payment information and will not auto renew
unless you purchase credits for service. You are encouraged to try Premium,
no strings attached, to see how you like it. Premium service is included at no
extra charge with Spartan Camera data plans. When using Verizon data plans,
additional months of Premium service cost $3-4/month, depending on how
many credits (months) you buy at a time.
