Just buying a phone at the supermarket doesn't make the SIM work.

When I registered my last SIM, I did it online and they wanted Drivers Licence number and a lot of other info that I felt was quite a lot just so I could use a phone.

Yeah they try to track when people have lots of phones registered to them. But last time I did it they were not able to correctly validate international passport numbers. Or you could just buy validated sim cards from poor people or international travellers.
