Here you can't do so legally either, but in some places (one I hear most often is train stations, but seen some in random kiosks) you can get a "gray" simcard registered to another person (I don't fully understand how, but apparently it's either sims from other countries or just those purchased in bulk "for a company"). But your ownership of it is dubious, and it wouldn't really be as reliable as a legal prepaid one.
