Out of curiosity what’s the battery life like on those?

It totally depends on the cell reception. Jake and I put our cameras out about 300yards apart as the the crow flies. We set them around mothers day weekend I believe. His batteries were nearly dead after a month or so and mine as of today still have 85% battery life. I also have 100% cell reception. I believe jake had 40-60 % cell coverage at his camera.
I'm just using normal energizer batteries also. It's totally dependent on the reception.

Granted the spots I hunt have limited cell service. But in some of those spots I am able to make a phone call on my phone but have never been able to get the Spypoint to lock in. So based on my limited experience if you don't have 4 bars on your phone your camera is not likely to work.
I have Verizon.
Others mileage may very :)

Thanks all. I picked up a reconyx to give it a try...

Any updates on how the Reconyx worked out for you?

I bought my first cellular trail camera in Feb 2016. It was a Spartan No Glow camera. That camera has taken 46,778 photos as of today. Really shocked me how many photos it has taken and worked so flawlessly for all these years. This camera has paid for itself over and over in the amount of gas it has saved me.
