Just phoned o2 in the UK to get my PAYG SIM replaced with an E-SIM emailed to me. They said they must register my phone number in order to email me the E-SIM. Bullshit. I need an E-SIM so I gave them a fake name, fake home address, fake D.O.B. and a throwaway email address to email me the E-SIM. So I got around their surveillance grab with fake info, but this is the latest example of the noose tightening -- demanding personal information for a simple Pay As You Go SIM. Phone carriers are part of the Regime and I'm sure it won't be long before they demand digital ID to get even a Pay As You Go SIM for cash at the supermarket.
