The RavTrack system does not use public common-carrier infrastructure. You own the radio channel, and so there are no monthly fees, no connection charges, no activation charges, no cost-per-MB of data.
Because the airwaves are free, you can send and receive position and status information as often as you need. Real-time tracking no longer costs real money.
