Trail Camera - Using T-Mobile SIM Card

Has anybody had any luck purchasing a trail camera and setting it up using a T-Mobile SIM Card.  T-Mobile has a monthly service starting at 500MB which I purchased, but my trail camera would not work when I installed it.

 

Tech support for the SpyPoint trail cam mentioned that the sim cards on their trail cams are specific to the unit so I’m not able to swap it out.

 

Not sure if anybody’s done this before, it sounds very doable, just looking for some help of which Trail Cam brands will work on the T-Mobile Sim card.

thanks

     SpyPoint trail cameras have multiple sim cards, the trail cam is going to connect to the strongest cellular carrier in the area it's mounted.  Sounds as though it may have connected to another carrier in the area.  Looking around most trail cam manufacturers set the trail cameras this way.
