$5 for SMS and 1c/5kb for data.
Any rough estimate, as a minimum, every month?
1c for 5KB is around 12c a day, or less than $4 a month. Is that what is bring paid, or any minimums?
Is it relatively easy, or a lot of hassle? How often do you have to top-up?
Whichever way you look at it, the real cost is ca. $8 per month plus hassle to refill. You can avoid the hassle by committing $100 for the year.
So, get the SIM, put US$100 on the account and add the 200 SMS a month plan.
I have no idea what MVNO stands for but your idea sounds good. Of course I'm pre-paid with AT&T now till next March.
Are the OVMS messages to the iPhone charged the same way the SMS messages are? Dunno...
If I can arrange a MVNO for you guys, is that of interest?
I would like it Mark....I have the ATT set up and it's a PITA to manage or get someone to help you especially after you try to explain to them your using it in your car....
I would rather it be hassle free!
If you are using notification type "IP", then the notifications come in as data - notifications will come in to the App and appear under "Open Vehicles" in your iPhone notification manager.

I assume this is an Apple bug instead of an OVMS bug/feature.
