&gt; That is flat out untrue. I actually was surprised how easy it was to get prepaid SIM cards<p>The service providers offering anonymous SIM cards operate mostly on o2&#x2F;BASE network which have very scarce coverage, only some of them use Vodafone network (better coverage), and I&#x27;m not aware of any operating on TMobile network. If you want to buy a SIM card directly from network operator (o2, Vodafone, TMobile) prepare your passport&#x2F;id and document confirming your address.<p>I&#x27;m really tired of this smug German &quot;privacy is very important for us&quot; bullshit - because no, it isn&#x27;t.
