> No longer doable, at least in Europe, you can't buy per-paid phone card without showing you government ID

I'm in Europe and I can go to any supermarket and buy a cartload (depending on stock) of pre-paid cards without having to show any ID to anyone. They also work in any EU country.

I think at least Czechia, Croatia, Denmark, Lithuania & Latvia don't require registration.

Registration happens nowadays when activating the cards, not when buying them. But it depends on the country, and sometimes even the provider.

There are many networks in many European countries that do not require any form of activation to use their SIMs.
