While true, it costs $30 at walmart paid in cash with no id to get a simcard with 4g. there are 11 million illegal migrants in the US and it would be harmful to them to require a government id to get a cellphone.

- rsync 4y agoI am in Europe now using “orange holiday Europe” prepaid SIM card that had zero identification or registration requirements. I just popped it in when I landed and had a working +33 number and 4G. Free roaming all over Europe. Recommended.
