> use a sim card bought with cash

Varies by country I’m sure, but I was surprised how difficult it was to buy a SIM in Indonesia and Malaysia without an ID. Even little shops wanted an ID or passport number to type in to activate it.

Same in Australia, buying a SIM card is impossible without ID by law. https://mojoknows.com.au/en/prepaid-sim-card-activation-in-a... For Australians that's driver license, for visitors that's passport + visa too, with a visa-validity check.

Same in Sweden, a pain if you just come for a little time.
