You can buy prepaid SIM cards with cash, and without hassle, in the US as well. You can do this in many countries, I believe, as well as online through services offered in exchange for crypto. You didn't define where "here" is for you. Mexico is a better option than the US because the retail price of a SIM card with a number and service is around 50 pesos (maybe lower).
