3G still exists specifically for stuff like this (though more for remote monitoring devices, since this is a consumer device requiring a consumer account, it doesn't work).

It's just that as a consumer, you can't buy into 3G - there's no way to get service on 3G.

One car in my family is 3G only, and reports a cell connection everywhere we go (it just can't use it).

The oil/gas/pipeline (water) sector uses 3G monitoring devices all over the place.
