Has been law in Germany for years. You still can buy them in the little Turkish shops with Sim cards delocked directly by the guy selling them

"5 gently used SIM cards for sale. 100 minutes each"

This isn't necessarily a bad thing

It just creates a market for smurfers bringing in sim cards and for people "tumbling" the cards by bringing them to other states and selling them. There'd be no way to connect a smurfed sim card to a dealer

Has been like this in some places in Austrailia.

Where I use to live you would get carded everywhere for sims and phones but now where I live you never get carded.

You can just eBay old phones and SIM cards.

Signal makes this a non-issue. It allows for encrypted calls and text and reveals no metadata to any observer.

Usually they will track you into your personal info when activating.... I know my personal line did that and it's with AT&T
