Hello there,

Just wondering whether anyone can recommend a particular carrier/option/choice for a SIM card to use in IoT hardware?

UK networks only please!

    Idk about the UK, but in Australia if you’re only sending a small amount of data, some carriers offer IoT plans starting at ~$1/month. So maybe some carriers do the same in the UK?

    I think some more information would be nice.

    Is the device supposed to send or receive?

    Data or simple messaging?

    What kind of traffic do you expect? Streaming video or a few status messages a day.

      Fair point — data only, probably around 200mb a month? Planning to run a simple web server, nothing too heavy.
