Arduino GSM high data usage

This topic was raised before but not answered as far as I can tell.

Has anyone been able to get any sensible data rates out of the GSM module with the 5MB limit on the arduino SIM?

I'm sending temperature (float) and humidity (float) once per hour. My 5MB data runs out after 17 days. The Arduino.update() is only called once per hour. I know I can reduce the data consumption by using Integers, but still this data consumption is ridiculous and completely impractical for projects. There must be a huge overhead. Has anyone solved this issue please?
