Here's a sampling of what's available in terms of M2M data plans.

The first plan listed at the top is 1MB per month for 3 months at a cost of $12.99 or $4.00 per month. That's CDMA over Verizon and Sprint.

We'll learn as we go but I'm thinking that we only need a few hundred Kilobytes per month. This should do just about everything except full motion video.

Today I purchased a Digi W21 Transport Modem with Gobi by Qualcomm which provides a software configurable cellular connection for both GSM and CDMA networks. This will connect to AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint networks, etc, and it also supports XBee device networks.

Smart choice with SIM, very pro features. M2M data plans aren't for web browsing, but when you spring for a Digi Transport modem, you're not thinking movie times or restaurant review anyway.

I want to see your wiring closet.
