ordered a new phone so I wanted a new SIM for a clean slate. My country require KYC for SIM cards. So i ordered this https://www.ebay.com/itm/295938085941 I see now that the card is being shipped from Israel.

(I’m in another EU country)

Cloning, swapping etc , how bad idea was this on a scale from 1-10? Even if the package is unbroken , I assume someone with physical access (and resources) can do a lot of stuff?

Miss being able to go get one from the corner store. But idea was to load it up by cash bought giftcards.

Also played with the idea of getting a gl-inet portable router and skip SIM card in phone but it is quite a bit of hassle to have another device to maintain and carry…

    ah okay, i didnt check.

    i know JMP.chat has physical sims now, maybe you could contact them or look on their site. im sure of they get enough requests they might provide european cards

    another option is to use eSIMs. have you looked into this? there are tons of esim providers that take cryptocurrency. all new phones can do eSIMs i think.

    also check out monero market, there is a bunch of physical sims in there https://moneromarket.io/?q=sim
