- seszett 6y agoLocal SIM cards in Europe have to be registered with your name and an identity document.
- Symbiote 6y agoDon't generalize across Europe when you aren't certain. At least in Denmark, it's not a requirement to register a SIM. Anonymous SIMs are available from vending machines at the airport, kiosks and by post.
- seszett 6y agoI was pretty sure it was a EU requirement because it's been presented as such in my country, but I'm not surprised to learn that the EU has only been used as an excuse for implementing such a measure, of course.
- ghaff 6y agoYeah. Coming from the US, I usually get an international data plan from my carrier and use it sparingly. (And it's often expensed anyway.) But for longer trips on my own nickel, I'll get a local SIM card.
- alistairSH 6y agoYeah, my parents do that when they return to Scotland (retired, so they can stay a while). But, for my normal 1-2 week vacations, it never seemed worth it. I just pay the $10/day Verizon charges, but only use it when I can't get wifi (which is rare these days). I think the last time I used the plan for more than a day or two was in Iceland and that was only because I forgot my SatNav, so used the phone.
