Selecting the best data plan for your fleet(s) will vary based on your unique use case, deployment locations, and hardware. Hologram offers several different data plan options so that you can choose the best fit for your needs based on data usage and regional deployments. Furthermore, Hologram allows you to switch data plans on-demand providing you with an extra degree of freedom when exploring the best plan for you.
Hologram provides Pay as you go data plans, which we find to be the most flexible and appropriate payment method for most of our customers. Pay only for the data you use, as you use it, at a fixed rate. Then keep tabs on and manage the data usage available to your devices with data usage limits and alerts.
Data usage is charged per KB to your account balance after your SIM stops transmitting data, when a data session closes.
Note: If you need more flexibility, have specific coverage or data usage needs, or to learn more about our volume discounting, please reach out to our sales team. Other plan types we offer:
- Pay monthly data plans that include a fixed amount of prepaid data at a discounted rate, the best choice for data usage you can predict or when you need a fixed monthly rate per SIM.
- Data pools that let you share data across all the SIMs in your fleet.
Optimizing data plan selection
I'm not sure how much data my device will use
Select a Pay as you go data plan and monitor data usage for the first month. Once you have a better idea of your usage modify your data plan accordingly.
My device uses less than 250 MB each month
If you use smaller amounts of data over your 30-day billing cycles, choose a Pay as you go data plan.
My device regularly uses more than 250 MB each month
Consider a Pay monthly data plan that most closely matches your usage and deployment area.
Our devices are used seasonally or at periodic intervals throughout the year
If your devices use over 250 MB of data during predictable time frames, select the most appropriate Pay monthly data plan while the SIM is active. While the SIM is not being used, switch to a Pay as you go data plan or pause your devices to avoid prepaying for unused data.
I have a larger, growing fleet
You might qualify for scaled pricing with lower prices as your fleet grows.
My devices are deployed in unpredictable locations
Our regional data plans help you get the best price for predictable deployments. If your devices regularly travel between countries or you don’t know where your devices will be deployed, then choose a Global data plan. If you need a custom solution, our sales team can help.
My fleet and data requirements change regularly
We recommend choosing individual data plans per device to optimize your spending. However, if you have a fleet of devices that will not change in size, and will consistently consume the same amount of data, consider a pooled data plan. Keep in mind that unlike individual data plans, pooled data plans can only be changed for the following month.
