ATT Sim card plan?

Hi all, I have an ATT sim card from a decommissioned game camera. I want to use this card/line in a cellular monitoring device. what do I need to carry on my SIM card? DATA? Text? Voice? I currently have it on a shared DATA plan but not sure I need that. Sure would save some cash if I could remove the DATA plan.
 
I had to carry DATA in order to send the pictures off the camera.. But don't see how I would need it for monitoring.
 
thanks

What device do you want to use it in?

Thanks for the reply, one of these....

Not sure if the link will work, but it is a Napco SLe-GSM-3/4G...
 
The next thing to figure out is how to connect it to the Elk... I have a M1XEP ethernet module with a serial port. Would you know if that is all I need? This cellular module supports contact ID , which the Elk has, so I think it should work.

I believe you would wire it to the Elk's telephone line outputs, not to the serial or ethernet port.  If you haven't read the directions for the SLe-GSM-3/4G, it explains how to connect things. 

Thanks Ral, I have only had the new device abut 3 days ...I read through the directions (briefly, I admit) but there were a lot of different configurations depending on the console being used. I wasn't sure which one pertained to Elk M1... I will go back through and figure it out.
