Data usage just for setting up a PPP connection ...

At home, in the big city, sending a 10 byte message, after bringing up an PPP session with a cellular provider takes anywhere between 1K and 100K.
At a remote location I get about 40K just to do a pon and poff, ie no message.

Is there a more data efficient way of just setting up a IP cellular connection?

Thanks,
Dave
