I have 2nd hand pixel 8a with grapheneos and i havent putted sim card in it since i have it, in my country i have to have registered sim card, iam afraid of IMEI be linked with sim card and once i put it in im f**ked, the reason i need to put card is to verify bank which need sim card being in device.
I did some research but became dumb from too much information
(sorry for my english :D)
Edit: also i want to be private because of my feature, idk if i wont live in country where propaganda is normal
Kycnot.me is your friend. Go to a public WiFi (ideally use a VPN), get some Monero, buy a phone plan without KYC.

In Europe that would not be permanently stored but is would be for a while indeed. A few years after the subscription’s validity at least.
You can’t use the cell network and preserve your anonymity without committing identity theft or fraud crimes or without someone else willingly laundering sims with you.
It’s almost always better to treat your phone and cell network usage as not anonymous unless you only need to do a few specific things.
Keep in mind that a lot of countries have introduced ID requirements on stuff like phones due to people like terrorists and drug traffickers buying them as burners.
And protestors and whistle blowers and human rights reporters
