Doing Laundry on Campus Without a Phone

During lockdowns my country required phone, to get permit to leave house. If I followed rules, I would not be able to buy food, and would starve to death!

Not shocking you have plenty of anarchists down south, neighbour. An app to request permission to leave your home. What were they thinking

Local number was required to receive SMS. Foreign numbers were not supported. I only had foreign data SIM.

A similar thing happened in Korea, to enter establishment there was a requirement to scan the business QR code then collect name and phone number on a government portal before entering, however the vast majority of people travel in Korea are assigned a sim with no number attached, so a lot of forigners just couldn't go out. To be fair, you couldn't enter the country for tourism at the time, but you could for business- so meetings at restaurants became a real challenge.
