I had one SIM-card left that had been "grandfathered" into the current system, in which you are required by law to have the card registered with your social security number. Because Gestapo, that's why. Anyway, I was keeping it hidden away in my wireless earbuds' case, taped under the lid, but it must've gotten loose. Ah well... I wasn't really using it for anything, keeping it around just in case.

Are you able to source "IoT" cards without ID verification?

    No. Both data-SIMs and prepaid cards require the buyer to reveal their name, address and social security number over the counter and online. The retailer is also compelled to verify the buyer's identity, either electronically or physically (ID card).
