Bought a couple of these now to use in a large garden with no wifi. Running both with Vodafone V sims with no issues. For anyone thinking of doing the same, and unsure if the V sim works on this camera - they do work. To set it up, you have to download the V by Vodafone app, scan the QR code on the sim, and then when adding 'devices' chose the 'other' option, followed by 'cameras' option.
Once that's done, put it into the Reolink Go and providing there is a strong 3/4G signal the camera will find the network. It took a bit of trial and error on my first camera - it couldn't connect to the network on first few attempts, but I don't have vodafone on other devices so didn't know the coverage, and after finding the right place in garden to get best signal it worked fine.
I have two cameras installed now, both are controllable over the same Reolink app - it can connect up to 5 - which is a really useful. The app gives you full control over the camera settings (PIR sensitivity, colour / b&w nightvision, screen resolution, view /download footage) you can remotely download video (from where it's stored; on the SD card in camera) straight to your phone / computer, and set it to give you an email and push app notification every time camera is triggered, so even if the app is not aopen, you will get a notification.
If you need a 3G/4G system I can highly reccomend this. I looked at the arlo system, but with this having a better battery life, colour nightvision, costing less and able to use any (suitable) network sim if the vodafone coverage wasn't up to it, it seemed like the best choice to me.
