Do you have prepaid SIM cards over there? I have never used any other! You can buy them in every supermarket, newsagent or petrol station and they are entirely anonymous.

Even here in Europe, there are few countries that still sell prepaid cards, without asking for ID

Other countries being worse than the UK on citizens' privacy matters? That sounds almost hard to believe. Maybe it is time I went out and bought 20 SIM cards while I can.

Hi.
Here in Spain you are also asked to 'register' to buy a prepaid card. The excuse being the terrorist attacks back in 2004. I got one back in 2014 and had to provide credentials.
BTW, I missed the last mighty N900 week: Are there any plans for the next one? I have finally found the required SIM adapter...
Regards.

BTW, I intentionally decided against keeping my old number. I could have kept it, but there are still advantages here to having a number local to the area you live in. Most of all though, getting rid of the previous number was advantageous because I kept getting bill collections robocalls for people I'd never heard of. And even the occasional human agent: "Well, do you know his new number," one live collector asked!
