In times like these, I am glad to live in a stone age country like German, where it is near-impossible to get a new SIM without going to the store in person and presenting a government-issued ID.
- tpetry 7y agoSorry but you are wrong. Today was news on heise that clearing bank accounts by replacements and transfering the money to some popular new banks like fidor and n26 resulted in a temporary ban of a small bank to transfer any money to these banks. It‘s happening here too ;)

And then the change only happens after you confirm a text message sent to your phone asking you to approve the request.
