sim card

OP · 2025-07-03 07:05
does anybody know which countries i can buy a sim card/ telephone number from which do not require me to present ID , that the number does not expire after 3/6 months so far i think UK , Ireland can but i dont trust the united kingdom at all and i am not going out of my way to go to a store in this country to buy a $5 product which gets me stalked by the pokemon company i heard germany DID but numbers may now expire i dont want to actually put money into the thing, and i dont want a recycled number because i need to use it for account verification for regular plebian services and the number is always already in use *i get this problem a lot

Just be aware cards can stop working crossing border. I had a no id prepaid in spain and when i visitted germany it stopped working. I dont know the laws but my guess is germany derezzed all non id prepaid cards from outside countries. So if you plan to import a sim make sure it wont stop working.

>>46328 they shouldnt do that, maybe the number expired you should get a message which says welcome to germany etc when you enter a new country the purpose of telephone number and mobile telephone is such that you can be contacted

>>46340 i checked the sim contract later and it mentioned regional restriction. Its real. Im not saying all contracts are like that. I got another sim without issues. Just saying some are so watch out what you buy.

>>46341 thats a new trick was it spain or germany doing that will not buy spanish sim card seems worthless that the thing would not be functional what if you needed to sign into your microsoft account or bank while you were on holiday
