    you can’t get a sim card anonymously here, and i believe that’s the situation in other places. and even individuals selling their phones make some ownership transfer papers.

    it’s very hard to stay anonymous on mobile. our best bet is still desktop/laptop.

      Here you can’t do so legally either, but in some places (one I hear most often is train stations, but seen some in random kiosks) you can get a “gray” simcard registered to another person (I don’t fully understand how, but apparently it’s either sims from other countries or just those purchased in bulk “for a company”). But your ownership of it is dubious, and it wouldn’t really be as reliable as a legal prepaid one.
