Ideas for a SIM with a free rolling monthly 200MB of data?

So I have a SIM that gives me a free monthly allowance of 200MB of data. No voice, no texts, just data.

Obviously not really enough for anything like a tablet but maybe someone has an idea of Home Automation type device that could be used?

Curious how you scored one of them.

I’d look into one of these, first:

Then I’d probably build something for the car? Having a TCP/IP connected car is one of the last places that’s hard to network up.

That looks interesting. will have to check if something similar is available. Yes something for the car was my first thought too.

If you’re in the UK Three are doing them. Or they were - I think it was a promotion but I’m not sure. I got the link from a magazine but I’m afraid I no longer have it…

Well I’m toying with the idea (through company resources) of starting a GPS service specifically geared towards the Home Automation crowd (HA, Vera, HomeSeer, etc etc).

I’m thinking of a bring your own devices so people have choice of hardware and SIM plans and choice in SIM plan would lead to how often the tracker would update based on available data…

Not sure if there’s enough interest between the various platforms for the GPS service to be worth the company investment as the monthly operational costs aren’t cheap either.
