From experience in other EU countries, registering SIM-card registration helps exactly nothing. The biometrics also won't help.

Of course it doesn't. Especially with the low roaming costs inside Europe. Just grab one in another country and use that. It's purely theater. This is why it's so annoying.

My current provider Orange even requires me to re-ID at their shop periodically now :(
