I just need to turn on the camera once per quarter out of the year, so I'm trying to find the cheapest option to do that.

want to use it to replace my $70 monthly unlimited dataplan. on hotspot
US Mobile's shareable data plans is another good option, since you can pay by the $2/GB and the sims are allowed in any device.
I've also got a ReoLink Duo 4G watching the driveway into the property, and the vehicle, person, and "other" motion detection is very good. It is nice to get a phone alert and know if I should check the video immediately (vehicle/person) or if I can review the photo/video later (elk/moose). The Duo gives me about 170 degrees of view, but the two cameras are fixed (no panning like the Go PT models). It has been in place for 1.5 years, through two North Idaho winters and it is installed as-is to a tree along the driveway, no additional protection.
I have my Go PT on a T-Mo $10 2GB 5G/4G "unlimited" prepaid plan, so after the first 2GB of data, it drops to 3G speeds. 3G is good enough for the camera to email out still photos when motion is detected, but not enough to watch the video stream. I've only exhausted my 2G of data once, when I created a timelapse video and then downloaded the high-res version of it one month (around 800MB).
The Duo I have (so far) on a postpaid T-Mo 30GB hotspot plan (see deal discussion here). Same data transfer speed, same price per month, but 15x the data. I wasn't sure if that would work, so only tried it on one device, but 3 months later, it is still working. I activated that hotspot plan SIM on a real T-Mo hotspot device, then moved it into the camera, so YMMV on that option.
Pretty happy with both devices overall. Google will let you email from the camera through your gmail account to send email notifications, but you will need to generate app passcodes in your account to use as the password when setting this up in the cameras.
No phone notices at all because they aren't set up for any kind of mobile phone signal. You have to go check the SD card. No problem for me because I like roaming through and walking the mile property and then back to get the exercise, but it's not good if I want to know what's there at the exact moment.
