    Hello, I need to place GPS locators in several trucks that work on the basis of a sim card. How to do it the cheapest now? I mean which SIM card to choose and what tariffs to use in it? The locator must connect to the Internet both in Poland and abroad (European Union). What kind of starters to use? I would like to add that something without the account validity limit would be useful, so that you do not have to watch over when to top up a given starter.

    The Play tariff is NEW, the account is valid indefinitely, 1GB internet package for PLN 5 or 6GB for PLN 25 also valid indefinitely.

    And such an internet package will also work abroad?

    From what I have seen, these are sim cards intended for telemetry on the Allegro, for example with orange.

    It will work, however, appropriately reduced, for 6GB of domestic roaming is around 2.3GB.

    Does anyone know what package per month is enough for such a locator? 1 GB is enough for a month?

    I do not know what the locator is, but they usually work on the principle that the location is sent by SMS and data transmission is not needed.

    And not the best lyca mobile? They work all over Europe and have pretty good packages.

    Not better, because the 1GB package in Lyca costs PLN 15 and is valid only for 30 days.

    But if he is passing through a non-European country, he can pay a really large amount for the used GB.

    Will not pay with layca?

    There are also countries in Europe that do not belong to the EU and have space prices.

    That is why Lyca does the trick because it works in all countries at the same rates for GB of the Internet. I do not simply praise the experience of traveling in the EU and the Balkan countries, I know that I do not expose myself to additional costs.

    Be careful with domestic GB promotional packages in Play. The national promotional package blocked my "normal" roaming package. Ie I was left without internet abroad and turning off the promotional package took hours ...


    I do not know how often you need to receive data from the tracker, but the average transmission consumption should be several / several MB per day. (one data frame is several dozen bytes) It is important that the transmission tariffication is in single kilobytes and not, for example, 100 kB, ie (100,000 B counted for the transmission of 70 B).
    Important where expensive internet - outside the EU, etc.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around finding the most cost-effective SIM card and tariff options for GPS locators installed in trucks, which need to function both in Poland and across the European Union. Users suggest the Play tariff, which offers an indefinite validity account with options for 1GB at PLN 5 or 6GB at PLN 25. However, concerns are raised about the effectiveness of these packages abroad, particularly regarding reduced data allowances for roaming. Alternatives like Lycamobile are mentioned, noted for their extensive European coverage, though they have a higher cost for data packages. Users emphasize the importance of understanding data consumption for GPS locators, which typically send location data via SMS rather than requiring constant internet connectivity. Caution is advised regarding promotional packages that may interfere with roaming services.
