What? I could connect to a mcdonald’s wifi without needing to provide any ID, I just tap “I Agree” to whatever tos stuff they show then its good. So do the mcdonalds in your jurisdiction just request a phone number for verification? 🤔
Yeah. The big chains like this, as well as government-owned places like public transport or libraries, are pretty much guaranteed to have such KYC. It is not an ID indeed, but the numbers are required to be KYC as well so it is implied. I could just buy an illegal non-KYC number just to not give out my real one for sale, but that’s a bit too bothersome for little benefit.
Not everywhere. In A LOT of places, KYC when getting a number is mandatory. There are still a lot of “gray” sims that are sold after being registered to someone else tho.

illegal non-KYC number? You can just get a legit one without breaking any laws my dude.
