You can have a SIM registered on someone else's name for cheap on dark markets so i doubt price is a problem, especially when buying numbers in bulk

Risky if you're planning to use that SIM to prove that you're a legitimate person to a data mining company like Facebook or Google. That SIM gets reported stolen and your account could go up in flames, which is a big problem if you've been spending weeks grooming it to look real.
