That's why you buy a 10$ android phone at black friday sale, download via public WiFi in a mall in a different city than your own, preferably a different country when you're just travelling through, and so on.

Btw, if you're in Germany, you might still have a chance to get an anonymous prepaid SIM in the next weeks before the carriers adapt to the legal change - you can use that, too.

I believe anonymous prepaid SIMs will keep existing in the UK for a long time. I used to have a Tesco Pay-as-you-go SIM card, bought and topped-up anonymously with cash, £12.50 a month for a semi-usable package with 1 GB data. Looks like they still have them:

With roaming in the EU becoming free mid-2017, and Brexit not coming into effect til 2019, the whole EU will still be well covered by anonymous prepaid.
