Thought experiment: Say that I have a raspberry pi or similar. What hardware do I need to plug a sim card in and connect to a mobile network? Can I order it from a commodity supplier?

It's not too difficult to do yourself.

Both Adafruit and SparkFun have GSM add on boards. To that, add a microsim card activated with the provider of your choice.
