I have AT&T "telemetry" sim card. $9 monthly includes some SMS and enough data.
With H20, $10 should cover you for 90 days, so a bit over $40 per year. How does that compare to your AT&T deal?I never use the text message (or voice of course) and am just looking for minimal (<10mb/month) of data. I've had success so far calling and complaining to AT&T to push my expiration of funds back but that gets annoying.

I own a 2008 Roadster 1.5 that was delivered in 2009. How well does the OVMS work for this version Roadster? Should I consider getting one.
OVMS supports both 1.x and 2.x roadsters. The only difference is that the 2.x support includes the experimental 'digital speedo' feature, while 1.x doesn't. All the other functions are identical.

Mark, curious what the limitation is with the dig speedo on the 1.5 is and why the 2.x have support.
Also as a side question, any ETA on when the sms ACC functions will be integrated into the GUI, most importantly the cool-down?
Thanks a bunch as always
We decided to try H20, partly because we expect it will be a little bit cheaper and partly because Cathy found it first and I started working on getting an H2O SIM. Cathy reports that Air Voice Wireless seems to have a better reputation for both quality of service and customer support. They are definitely worth a try.
Cathy found you can order H20 SIMs from Amazon for $0.01 with free shipping. Really, one penny and no shipping!
[H2O Wireless] web site security is horrifying.
Been very happy with what you've contributed and done Mark and just saying thank you is not even close to being enough. Thanks for being such a resourceful and active TMC member from the heart!
I, too, was late to the game because I did not want to give AT&T any more money. However, smorgasbord offered his old OVMS, which was replaced by the newer version in his car, and suggested that I follow the recommendation in the OVMS documents to use the GeoSIM Standard card from the UK with an initial cost of £14.99 including £10 Call Credit, plus £3.50 for shipping. Curiously, the initial balance after signup was £15.00 and the total billed was £18.50, converted to $30.59. I presume that the last £4.99 or £5.00 of the balance can't be used for calls or data. There is an annual renewal fee of £4.99, so I'll see next April what that does to the account balance.
The text fee is somewhat high at £0.17 and we did need to use some text commands to get the device set up, so the total spent in April was £2.52. However, I don't plan to use the text mode at all, only data, which is very cheap, typically 1 or 2 pence per session as shown on the call detail list for my account on their web page. During the month of May I used 68 data sessions for a total of £0.85 including one outlier on May 31 at £0.16. I'm waiting to see if something similar occurs on June 30.
So far in June I have used 90 sessions for a total of £0.92 (some result in 0 bytes and no charge; these might be failed connections). In June there have been 9 days with no data sessions at all, while on June 23, while we were driving home to Sunnyvale from Santa Barbara with two charging stops, there were 15 data sessions, each costing £0.01. The total duration of those sessions was 95777 seconds, which is more than a day, so some of them overlap.
