Was forced to use WhatsApp a while ago and didn’t want to give Facebook my phone number.

Got a pretty cheap prepaid SIM, forced myself through the KYC, used it for close to a year without issues. Now they want me to top it up with at least 15€ to avoid cancelation. Surely there’s a cheaper way?

Edit: Looking to buy one in Germany

    Same thing in the UK, except you’ve got to top it up at least every 3 months, minimum of £5 each time IIRC, or they disconnect it.

    Personally I’d be up for paying £100 cash for a SIM that would stay connected for 5 years or so. Sadly, doesn’t exist

      Try to buy ukrainian sim card they don’t have strong kyc so possible to find gray simcards ,since in there it from begging of 90x was not kyc and sim card randomly just was sold on the streets and everybody could buy it.
