Where I am, its perfectly legal to purchase a one time sim card. You can walk into the corner store, purchase a prepaid visa (with cash), and buy a sim card (with cash) at the same store. You can then go online, enter the sim card number into the site, add your prepaid visa as payment and whatever details you want. I've done it before and there is no ID verification whatsoever - I literally put in John Smith and it worked... As long as they have payment up front, I guess they don't care. If I'm just using it for one time account verification, I'm not really worried about keeping the sim card long term.
I've tried a few of the SMS services online now. They either don't work or are paid. I don't mind paying for the service but I find it tedious and cumbersome.
Wondering if perhaps a prepaid sim card paid for using a prepaid credit card would do the trick? I've used prepaid sim cards in the past and was able to get one without providing any real information on myself.
Possibly, but other than that there aren't any real verification steps when entering info to create an account (you can just add bogus info).
If there is a phone number required, I have used burner numbers in the past which may work.
I'm a lefty. Learned guitar right handed. Been playing for 30 years.
Reasons to learn right handed: guitars are (generally) cheaper and easier to come by.
Reasons to learn left handed: if someone hands you a guitar at a party and asks you to play 'Wonderwall' you can easily decline.
This argument (to me at least) assumes that the other 4 non-voters would have all voted for ice cream which, by just using basic logic, is false. If 3 out of 5 have already voted to drive off a cliff, one has to assume that at least 2 of the remaining 4 would also vote to drive off a cliff. Now this argument is back to square one... How do we find a solution which doesn't give 'driving off a cliff' as an option in the first place?
I was referring more to ID required for the sim card set up but, you bring up a good point, there will always be video surveillance. I'm also looking at this more from a privacy perspective, and less from a secrecy or detection perspective so I have no real concerns that a government agency will be trying to track me down.
