Spartan Camera’s Pre-purchased Data Plans are a type of plan you can buy before your camera ships to you. Once you receive your camera, you can activate the plan.
How does it work?
Pre-purchased Data Plans can be purchased through the Spartan Camera website with your camera or separately when you are waiting for your camera in the mail.

You will not be charged for activating your pre-purchased subscription. Once you’ve acknowledged that the plan will automatically renew unless canceled, select Checkout.

Canceling a pre-purchased subscription
To cancel your subscription, you would follow the same steps as canceling a shared data plan:
- Log in to your account on my.spartancamera.com.
- Click on the Camera Management tab at the top of the screen. Then, click on Subscriptions and then Data Service.
- Select the camera that you would like to deactivate and then click the Change Plan button.
- You can choose to either wait until the end of the plan cycle to cancel (Keep camera active until plan expires/Schedule Cancel) or cancel the plan immediately (Deactivate the camera right now/Cancel Now).

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. I want to activate a pre-purchased plan but the option is grayed out and I can’t click on it.
If the pre-purchased plan option is grayed out, this means that you do not have a pre-purchased plan on your account. If you did purchase a Pre-purchased Data Plan and it is not showing on your account, please contact our support team.
2. I received an email that my plan won’t auto-renew. Why is this?
All data plans will auto-renew. When there's no default payment information saved to your account, the data plan’s renewal charge will fail due to nonpayment. This causes the plan to be canceled.
Pre-purchased Data Plans do not require you to update your default payment info upon activation. If you do not have default payment information saved on your account, you will receive email reminders whenever the data usage reaches 50%, 75%, 90%, and/or 7 days before the plan's renewal date.
3. Can I buy multiple pre-purchased data plans?
Yes, but you can only activate one camera per subscription. You can add additional lines later through the normal add-a-line process.
4. Can pre-purchased subscriptions be refunded?
Yes, with exceptions. Pre-purchased Data Plans can be refunded so long as:
- A refund is requested within 30 days of the original purchase.
- The subscription has not been activated.
If the subscription has been activated or it is over 30 days from the date of the original purchase, the subscription cannot be refunded.
