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.
