We’ve been looking into it for months without finding satisfying answers to our questions, so when we recently had the chance to pick up a jetpack for nearly-free, we took the opportunity to find out for ourselves.

So I think that means we’re getting by with a pretty small allotment. It does take effort, but cell data costs can be kept in check (really helping the monthly budget), without totally unplugging from civilization.
