    If you are worried about paying for cellular service you might look into Twilio. They have a SuperSim that we used in our XBee-NB/IOT units that will connect to 4 carriers. It costs $2 month for the card and they only charge you for usage. We were running MQTT w/TLS with small messages for temp every 5 and precip every 15 with other hourly products, FTPS for remote updates. Cost us less than $10 month
