Typical Usage Costs, Data Plans

ryanjc 9 years ago

Hello everyone, I'm new to the devices I have questions about the costs associated with running them. More specifically regarding the prepaid plans of H20 sims, and the devices usage.

I have several TK102b's and was wondering about how much usage of the prepaid amount I should expect if I wanted to run them continuously. Also what is a good rate to set the devices communication with my Traccar server.
&
Are there any other providers other then H20 that I can use with these devices in California?
&
What is your experience with cheap data plans, thank you for any advice.

Thank you.

There were some topics about data usage before. Try to search on the forum. I think people tested with Traccar Client, but it shouldn't be much different.

As for rate, I think it depends on what you are trying to track and the accuracy that you want to achieve. I guess it's better to experiment and see what works better for you.

Ok thank you, I'll do some searching.

I'd imagine rate would play a role into how quickly the device uses up the prepaid plan.

Yes, of course it will affect data usage as well.

Also several US carriers (at least 2 of the big 4) offer a telemetry plan for very little (like under $10 a month)...though you might have to have a "business" account
