Appreciate it hugely. It's actually the data costs that are prohibitive - I've only just started looking around, but my first quote is $39 for 2GB and 500 free minutes ($1/min after that) from Telstra, Australia's juggernaut.
I did recently think I critically needed to stay in touch (this is why I have the numbers above), but that requirement seems to have settled a little, which is why I'm less motivated to get on the merry-go-round of plan-hunting now. Chances are prepaid is probably what I'll end up doing ("yeah this is my number this week", here we come, lol).
What I _really_ want is an IoT/M2M contract, but I have no idea how to look for those :D

Oh - as for what I do, currently working on kickstarting that :) this sums up the difficulty FWIW: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15004608#15005811 (I'm working on it, it's fine)
