> 3G Connection: Streaming over 3G, sending emergency SOS messages over 3G, or any other 3G-enabled features will require a data-enabled SIM card from a supported cellular carrier.
Thanks. Now to find the cheapest data only supported service. A company I worked at used to pay $4/mo per device to Sprint for something like this.
Ting (choice of Sprint or T-Mobile) is $6/line, plus usage. Google Fi (uses both Sprint and T-Mobile) allows subscribers to add data-only SIMs to their existing plans at no additional charge (other than data usage).
In Canada, FWIW, you can get tranched plans from most carriers starting at $5 month (it is their "tablet" option). The bills go up pretty quickly if you use it much, but still a decent option.
Love it, but I can't imagine battery life would be too good. With the small form factor, the only way I can see it lasting longer than a few hours is to have the 3G off most of the time, and turn it on periodically.
