I've been told by many people, that one of the biggest problems with OVMS is the cellular providers. It is a hassle to maintain a pre-paid card, and the providers keep changing the rules. Particularly in the USA.

Could you let me know (with figures in US$, approximately ok, please):

  1. What country are you in?

  2. What cellular provider and service do you use?

  3. How much do you pay, up-front for the SIM card?

  4. How much do you pay, monthly for the service (SMS + Data)?

  5. How much do you pay, per-MB for data?

  6. Long-term viability - do you think this is still going to be possible in a year or two?

  7. Anything else relevant?

Just reply to this email, on the mailing list. I only need 1 report for each provider, so if you see someone else reply to the list for your provider you can ignore this.

Thanks, Mark.
