It's not too hard to get a SIM in someone else name.
They'd have an account owner name, but that person may not exist or they only remember some person paying them to get a phone in their name which isn't illegal.
Don't forget, burner phones still exist.
You can handle everything in cash if you're smart.
The phone isn't important, you just want a cheap sim with no tracks leading to you.
