Coverage and compatibility
Double Play Coverage for AT&T and T-Mobile Locations
Cellular devices are only as reliable as the signal where they are installed. This page is for Double
Play customers who want AT&T and T-Mobile coverage options without paying for the Verizon-included
plan.
Built for AT&T + T-Mobile Coverage Areas
Choose Double Play when AT&T or T-Mobile already works well near the device. It is the best fit
for most homes, farms, suburbs, cabins, job sites and standard outdoor camera installs.
Need Verizon as a Third Network?
If the device is going into a remote or deeply rural location, or Verizon is the strongest carrier
nearby, use the
Triple Network SIM page instead.
Device Requirements
Your device must be carrier-unlocked and support North American LTE or 5G data. If your device is
locked to another carrier or requires voice/SMS service, this data-only SIM is not the right fit.
APN Settings
Many devices connect automatically. If your camera, tracker, router or hotspot asks for APN settings,
enter puffin as the APN.
Simple activation

Activate and Connect
Activate online, choose your prepaid plan and use APN puffin if your device asks.
Data usage guide
How Much Data Does a Camera Use?
Data use depends on whether your camera sends photos, motion clips or live video.
1-3 GB/mo
Photo Alerts
Good for trail cameras and low-activity security cameras that send still images. Start with a 12 GB
annual plan.
5-10 GB/mo
Motion Video Clips
Common for motion-triggered security cameras. Most customers in this category choose the 24 GB annual
plan.
10-40 GB/mo
Live View and Streaming
Live streaming uses the most data. Choose a larger annual plan or a monthly plan if you check live view
often.
Compatible devices

Use the Separate Triple Network SIM Page for Verizon Coverage
This Double Play page keeps AT&T/T-Mobile pricing clear. If your install location needs Verizon too,
review the Triple Network SIM page before ordering.
Stay Here If AT&T or T-Mobile Works at the Device
Double Play is the simpler, lower-cost choice for most security cameras, trail cameras, hotspots,
routers, GPS trackers and IoT devices.
Go to Triple Network If Verizon Matters
The Triple Network SIM adds Verizon and uses a different pricing table. It is better for remote
properties, rural installs and areas where Verizon is known to be strongest.

Data-Only SIM Card FAQ

Yes, if your security camera is carrier-unlocked and supports North American 4G LTE or 5G cellular data.
It is commonly used with security cameras, trail cameras, routers, hotspots, GPS trackers and IoT
devices.
Yes. Puffin Smart SIM is for cellular data only. It does not include voice calls or SMS text messages.
The Double Play SIM connects through AT&T or T-Mobile where supported. If you specifically need
Verizon coverage, use the separate
Triple Network SIM page.
Go to the Triple Network SIM page. It adds Verizon as a third network option and has its own pricing,
so we keep that product separate from this Double Play page.
Order the SIM card first, then choose the prepaid data plan during activation. This helps you match the
plan to the device and coverage option you selected.
Insert the SIM into your unlocked device, activate online, choose your prepaid plan and enter
puffin as the APN if your device asks for APN settings. Service begins after
activation.
No. Plans are prepaid and contract-free. There are no cancellation penalties.
Use APN puffin. Many devices connect automatically, but routers, hotspots and some
cameras may ask you to enter APN settings manually.
