## Editorial review

Not a service per se — a tactic. Some countries (e.g. UK, Germany historically, parts of the US prepaid market) sell pre-activated SIMs at convenience stores without ID. Tag your trip itinerary; pick one up; activate with throwaway email. Caveat: laws change country-by-country; this is dated quickly. Cross-check on Privacy Guides before relying on it.
