For a water tank monitoring application. Just need to send a udp message a few times a day so minimal monthly data volume.

I think Warehouse Mobile might be cheapest at $4/month for 500 MB. It uses the 2degrees network.

Wow that is ideal. 2degrees network, i.e. OneNZ cellular network?

Is the Device a CAT-M1 or LTE? As you can use a IOT SIM for that, and they are about a 5er amonth

If you're already on 2degrees, you can share your current data with another 2degrees number. So, you can pick up a 2degrees prepay sim, activate it and share your data to it and the extra ongoing cost is exactly $0 per month (the prepay sim will stay active without you having run a plan)!

If you want to avoid dealing with prepay top-ups, etc., we can offer either 2degrees or Spark IOT SIMs (on our Private APNs) for about $5/mo at those data volumes.

@johno1234 did you find a solution?

 

 

 

Reviving this thread because I'm in a very similar boat.

 

I need a low usage (max 1GB/month if that) data only sim to send telemetry data from a Unitronics PLC to their cloud interface.

 

OneNZ small tablet plan doesn't work and I'm loathed to pay $50 a month for a regular plan.

 

 

 

 

 

*PS happy to start my own thread if this isn't the proper way.





Science is but organized ignorance.

I can supply a sim with 1gb good to go for around 15.00 on One NZ and 3.00 per GB overage, i can also get spark IOT sims at a reasonable price, i would have to check the pricing on 1GB as im paying about 5.00 for 10meg at the moment, Send me a Dm if you are interested,
