That's true, but you better be sure you trust the person you are
allowing to register a SIM card in your name. If it's later found to
have been used to carry out some illegal activity the authorities are
going to come knocking on your door.

I wasn't talking about getting someone else to register
the SIM in your name.

They can't if you circumvent the ID requirement yourself
and there is no way to trace that SIM to you.

Of course, when you buy the sim, you need to use cash, and you need to 
hide from the store cameras and you probably shouldn't turn the phone on 
at home, etc..

No, there are plenty of cards which have no association with your identity.

No reason why you can't, it isn't necessarily your home.
