SIM card for IoT?
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.
You can't expose ports on mobile data. You can ether host the web server at home or on a vps or use something like tailscale.
Really? Even with a specific IoT data provider?
It should work as long as it can reach the internet
What about Cloudflare? You can tunnel to them instead of Tailscale's limited public serve
I'm not really a fan of cloudflare tunnels, but I guess thats an option too
