If in the states, fake info plus a prepaid carrier should work, right? Havent brought a sim in a bit but you should be able to just buy one in a drugstore with cash or has that changed
Edit: should go without saying but I would also opt for a carrier that offers totp as a 2fa method
In A LOT of places this is not legal. At least where I live, you can get a "gray" sim registered to another person, but idk how much you can rely on one. And you have to search around for them.
Edit: also knew a guy who was using jmp.chat for a number.
In a lot of places, a prepaid is just something you can buy, cash, in a shop. No papers please.
Yeah, but many European countries have moved to require registration of prepaid cards "to stop criminals" or something like that. So you can still usually buy them with cash and whatever, but you won't be able to activate or use it until you confirm your identity.
At least we have the illegal ones registered to random people/bought in bulk for some companies) But you have to search for places that sell these.
eBay.
