Does anyone selfhost a tracker for a dog or cat? A reputable company charges 5€-13€ per month for it. I’m not sure I want to pay that for more than 10 years
Some SIM costs 10€ and lasts for 10 years with 500MB (1NCE) that for a tracker are a lot! (Maybe not enough for 10 years, but some year is still a very good deal.)

You are basically paying them to have a sim card connected to cellular. It’s the same way with vehicle/trailer trackers.
There appear to be some on Ali express that you have to get your own cell service.
