You can still do this on a number of carriers. You can buy mint sims at Walmart/target and put in whatever info you want. Still don’t expect to have much privacy when you use it though

    Interesting. I joined Mint once but they asked for all my information but ID to prove it, because I paid with my card that corroborated my information, presumably. Unfortunately, I had to get a refund because while my device was compatible, some minor detail I can't remember some years later caused it to not work with their esim.
