Most obviously by using the services of an IoT provider. A typical service is here and there are others.

Arduino may be connected via your router to the Internet using WiFi or an Ethernet shield. Since you have a Mega, the latter might be easier, cheaper, and you usually get a bullet-proof SD slot thrown in at no extra charge.

Procedure for use varies according to the provider and is best obtained from their examples, but they are all much the same and consist of just a few lines of code in order to

  1. Establish contact with the provider and
  2. suitably prepare the data package for transmission.
  3. Send it.

I believe Adafruit io is free, can be updated more frequently than most, and allows two-way traffic.

if the project is at an early stage maybe simpler to move the project to a ESP32 - far more powerful than the Mega with built in WiFi, Bluetooth Classic and BLE
