The problem is that most of those "challengers" networks don't have good coverage so you could often find yourself with the coverage of other networks paying more.

Well 3.5 €/MB is way better than the roaming rates my home operator charges: 15.36 USD/MB!

we programmed a blacklist in our devices that only takes the advantage and challanger networks. The coverage using this is not bad at all and they use about 10€ a month for 24/7 truck tracking

I'm curious - about how little bandwidth are those 'trackers' using? I know when I try to get directions with Google Maps, a lot of data is used due to new map tiles loading up on every action.

no, these trackers _send_ the GPS positions to a internet server which processes and displays the data. E.g. for delivery trucks or other logistics services as well as for security reasons. One position update to the internet only takes a few bytes.
