- BLKNSLVR 3y agoIn Australia you can't activate a SIM card without registering your government ID with the provider. Similar with prepaid credit cards if memory serves. Flipside would be: don't use a burner phone/SIM to call 911 - or at least have an alternative method of verifying location / address.
- zirgs 3y agoYou can call emergency numbers without a SIM card.
- wmf 3y agoThe location spoofing is the real problem here, not ID. An anonymous SIM card can still give accurate location.
