Ask HN: Raspberry Pi 4G/LTE SIM for business use?

4 pointsby goldinfraover 1 year ago
For a project (business, not personal) I want to purchase a SIM card with service in the U.S. (global would be nice)<p>I see tons of fly-by-night IoT SIM card sellers but it&#x27;s very hard to determine which ones are trustworthy, and most of them seem targeted at very low levels of data usage. Many of them charge for usage, which could easily end up costing thousands per month unexpectedly.<p>I really just want something similar to what is easy to purchase for consumers: unlimited LTE service up to some reasonable amount (30-50-100 GB&#x2F;mo) which is then throttled to 2G speeds after exceeding that amount.<p>But I want to purchase it on behalf of a company and not worry about issues related to using it in an always-on capacity.<p>Is the solution just to sign up for Google Fi or similar with a company account? Or is there a service that offers similar service that I can sign up for?

Twilio has their SuperSIM (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.twilio.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;iot&#x2F;supersim" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.twilio.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;iot&#x2F;supersim</a>) for these use cases but the pricing might be too high for what you&#x27;re looking for. There&#x27;s also Hologram (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hologram.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hologram.io&#x2F;</a>). I&#x27;d try looking for IoT data providers (rather than cellular ones).<p>I&#x27;ve also personally worked with these guys before and they are legit: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zipitwireless.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zipitwireless.com&#x2F;</a>

Why not like a T-Mobile prepaid?
