In the EU this is trivial to bypass via the Roam-like-at-home policy and pre-paid Eastern European sim cards. In the US one is able to order a sim card via mail and while one has to submit PII I don't suspect it is checked rigorously. (versus EU photo ID schemes that cannot be fooled without significant effort and criminal energy)
So here's two of the worlds largest economies out - I can't imagine it's much harder in the "rest" of the world.

Unfortunately in much of Eastern Europe you can't purchase a SIM card without showing an ID, for sure you need to show an ID here in Romania. They've changed that relatively recently, I'd say during or just after the pandemic. I don't know about how things stand in neighbouring Bulgaria. In fact, a quick web-search confirmed that Bulgaria also has the same policy. > You will be required to show an ID document in most stores.
