If you go to AT&T and say "I want 10,000 SIMs that'll let me use a few kilobytes of data a day, with enterprise management features", they either won't sell them to you or will sell them at prices comparable to Twilio (except they won't work when out of range of an AT&T tower, and certainly won't work overseas). Their minimum pay-as-you-go plan that includes any data at all seems to be about $30/mo - if you're using maybe 10 kilobytes a day, that's not feasible.

AT&T's IoT pricing seems to undercut Twilio and Hologram on price: https://marketplace.att.com/products/att-iot-dataplans-lte-n...
This platform has been around for at least 4 years iirc.
It’s showing $1.50/MB and $22/GB and it’s a network configuration that is AT&T except in areas that don’t have service it’ll allow regional carriers and TMo.
Hologram SIMs are price competitive here and allow devices to connect to the best network available without unfavorable network preference schemes.
Definitely difficult to parse.
