> Is it even possible within the EU to buy one without identification?

If it’s a prepaid one, sure. Just go to the supermarket in NL and get one for 10€, pay with cash.

Obviously, if you’re in one of the many EU countries that require identification (even if simpler than Germany’s video identification system) it’s not trivial to go to a supermarket in NL.

I imagine it’s possible to buy one online from NL, CZ, the UK if it has EU roaming, etc.
