I received the following via email but the post seems to have disappeared. I thought I'd post and answer it.
"So now with the new cameras you are forced to use premium and buy credits if you want to share your photos on the app or thru the portal. Just another cost per month. Unlike the older cameras where you could share with three other friends for free when using the camera on auto. Is there a way to share your photos without using premium?"
You've always had to purchase premium credits if you wanted to use the portal/app.
If you want to share photos with friends via text, set up a gmail account specifically for your photos and enter that email account into the camera. On the gmail account, set it to forward every message to your friends, either via text (phone number in email address format) or email.
I have not tried this as I use the app and portal, but it should work, not only for auto but also for premium if you are using email/text for some recipients and you want/need more than four.
