As a rule, a SIM card without a passport is purchased by those who have not yet turned 18 years old, migrants, or those citizens who, for one reason or another, want to hide their data. Such a lively trade in “gray” SIM cards is in full swing at many metro stations or train stations. To buy a telephone card, you don’t need to show your passport, you just need to pay the required amount to the merchant and that’s it, the new number is already in your pocket.
The sale of “left” SIM cards may threaten the safety of Russian citizens. This is once again confirmed by the terrorist attacks committed in various regions of the country. Terrorists communicate using illegal numbers, and mobile phones are also used to detonate improvised explosive devices. Since 2018, the sale of SIM cards without a passport has been prohibited and is therefore punishable by various penalties.
Where and who sells SIM cards without a passport
Today, a SIM card from almost any mobile operator can be purchased without going through communication shops. To do this, those who wish can seek help from persons who often stand at metro stations, train stations or bus stops. In their hands, as a rule, they have a stack of boxes in which the “left” SIM cards are located. But here we should not forget that such a sale is illegal and carries with it various kinds of liability.
But not everything is as simple as it might seem. For example, having given a certain “Samvel” 200 rubles, a citizen becomes the owner of a brand new mobile number, with a tariff, for example, “All for 300” from the mobile operator Beeline. At least that's what it says on the box that was given to the buyer. The client’s account will contain 50 rubles; there is no need to activate the SIM card before use. However, the first catch awaits here, since there is no such tariff on the official website of the Beeline company. You can find out the tariff using your personal account by registering on the website of the cellular company.
A SIM card received without a passport simply cannot be completely anonymous, since it is still registered to someone, but it is issued. As a rule, the scheme is as follows: a fictitious legal entity is created that buys and registers a package of SIM cards. These cards are then issued to dealers, that is, those who distribute and sell them at metro stations. In fact, it turns out the following: the citizen who purchased such a card is not its owner, since it is issued to a third party. Therefore, you need to be prepared for the fact that money from a SIM card can be written off by the true owner of the SIM card upon application, and it can also be blocked at any time. However, this outcome of events does not bother either side.
We buy SIM cards without a passport (for scans) - my method
I am sure that you have thought about this question if you work more or less seriously. These are, in general, the basics of safety. Much of this depends on the color of the industry in which you work, so you should not assume that this action alone will be enough for maximum safety. However, this obviously won’t be superfluous. In any case, I recommend ALWAYS using “left” SIM cards, that is, registered with third party data. Of course, without his knowledge. So how do you get the right SIM cards?
In fact, everything is very simple. If you live in a large city, for example, in Moscow or St. Petersburg, then you can drop into some market where they will give you these SIM cards in bulk without presenting any documents. It should be noted that in this case there is a high probability of encountering SIM cards registered to a legal entity, which has its own nuances, for example, the process of cashing out shekels from the balance of a SIM card is extremely difficult or it is completely impossible. In addition, one fine day all SIM cards may fly away into the block at once if the fact of selling SIM cards to legal entities is discovered. Therefore, if you live in a large city or are ready to pay for delivery by courier service, then feel free to contact a well-known resource, select a suitable seller and place an order with the parameters you need. Fortunately, the working conditions are now very excellent, since there are not intermediaries working there, but dealers, which gives you the opportunity to buy SIM cards with a balance of 50 rubles for 50 rubles, with a balance of 100 rubles for 100 rubles, and so on. In general, very profitable. The only negative that made me think about it was the SIM card region. Yes, you can order SIM cards from Moscow or Moscow Region to your Mukhosransk, but communication in this case will be charged according to roaming, therefore, you don’t want to constantly pay bills for mobile communications.
So, you need SIM cards, but you absolutely do not want to register them for yourself. How to proceed? I will not consider the option with drops, since it is too easy, not interesting and, in general, obvious. The first thing you should do is make sure you have money with which you will buy SIM cards (cap). Next, we obtain scans of passports by any means, preferably from your city or at least region, for which we will issue SIM cards. 1 scan = maximum 5 SIM cards in 1 day. This is not my nonsense, but the harsh reality. I don’t know why operators need this restriction... Scans can be obtained in two ways: buy them or dig them yourself. I still recommend spending money, since in this case you will save time, and the price for one scan currently averages from 30 to 50 rubles. Most often, sellers sample the region you need for free. A free way to obtain scans is the section with VK documents, where you make the appropriate request and find a lot of interesting things. The alternative is to create a website for a fake microfinance organization, add it to direct, spam on VK and receive tons of “applications” for a loan, with which you will also receive scans of various documents and passport data in text form (an option for perverts + an idea for a separate startup. By the way, the idea is working, you can work on it, I give it the go-ahead. Just don’t do an info course on this topic - I WILL CHARGE!).
You have 1000-2000 rubles in your pocket, a folder with 10 printed scans in your hand, do you look respectable or at least don’t look like a homeless person or at least don’t stink? Then you can go hunting. By the way, I still recommend working on your appearance. Ideally, if you are not a pig, wear perfume, have fresh breath and can communicate well with people. I’m sure there are only handsome guys in the SEO crowd, but you never forget about these simple little things. So, just in case, I decided to remind you.
The main essence of this method is that we give people the opportunity to earn money. We are useful to them. People will want you to come back again. What do I mean by this? The bottom line is that you just need to come to the place where the SIM card is sold and get ready! Of course, this should not be an OPSOS branded salon or a salon of a large chain store such as Euroset or Svyaznoy (however, everything is possible, the main thing is to believe in yourself). Suitable options are various kiosks, small cellular equipment stores, grocery stores that sell SIM cards. In general, this is obvious. The worse the point and its location, the better. So, we have found the ideal point, we go to the seller and say that we want to purchase 10-20-30-100 SIM cards at a time and we plan to purchase continuously in the same quantities, for example, once a month, since you have your own legal the company and SIM cards are constantly required for both your employees and clients in order to protect confidential information and conduct work safely (just an example of a story, you don’t have to lie at all). Naturally, they won’t give you that much for passport data alone, so you need to have many photocopies of passports. We say that, in principle, you can issue SIM cards as expected, but for this you need to catch people and force them, which is much more difficult than just coming to the dealer and buying SIM cards using their scans - they don’t mind, so Why strain them and waste their and your time? Most likely, in front of you will not be a dealer, but simply a store salesperson who sells the dealer’s SIM cards. You can negotiate with him and ask for the dealer’s phone number, then you can receive SIM cards in large quantities with home delivery and so on. The terms of interaction will be much more convenient - this is obvious. However, he may not give the dealer’s phone number, since in this case he will lose money - it will be more profitable for him to take such wholesale orders from you and fill out the contracts himself than to give this work to the dealer.
You should strive to get in touch with the dealer:
- You will be able to send scans by email and receive SIM cards immediately at the time of the meeting.
- There will be no problems with a shortage of SIM cards at the point of sale, since you will be able to order the required quantity from the dealer.
- In the future, we will work with the dealer to access information, restore SIM cards, etc.
However, it doesn’t hurt to make friends with the seller. Write down his phone number to discuss the details of the order in advance.
Wow, huh? Everything is so simple that you can’t even believe it. And you don’t need to use fancy schemes depicting a victim whose bag with documents and a phone was stolen, and you urgently need to buy a SIM card for a photocopy (even if it works, then 1 SIM card maximum). You just come, throw a little dust in your eyes (not to the detriment of anyone, but simply to start fruitful work as quickly as possible) and receive the left SIM cards in large quantities. Profit! We rejoice!
I think this option is the most optimal if you need SIM cards for conversations. If you do not plan to make calls, and you need SIM cards solely for SMS activations or other tasks, then you can place an order on DM or another forum. But since this option is also more profitable, and also much faster to implement, I recommend using it. Most likely, you won’t even have to go to the second point of sale of SIM cards, since no one will refuse legal additional income. Everything will work out, I believe in your strength. Don't be stupid and everything will be OK. Good luck in your work, comrades!

How to avoid becoming a victim of deception or scammers?
You must purchase a SIM card only from a mobile operator, having previously drawn up a service agreement . Thus, the buyer's rights will be protected. Here, the cellular operator itself is responsible for the safety of personal and personal data, so if you purchase a SIM card on the street, there is no guarantee that the owner’s data will not be publicly available online.
Manipulating the sale of SIM cards without registration is illegal, and resellers (sellers) must be held accountable.
This type of business flourishes, most often, in large cities. However, SIM cards without registration can now be found in almost any city in Russia . Ads of this kind can also be found on various websites that are popular among residents. In order not to run into problems with the law, you should not buy “fraudulent” SIM cards on the street. There are specialized cellular communication stores for these purposes.
What restrictions do SIM cards without documents have? Myths about “left” SIM cards
Many naively believe that by purchasing a “gray” SIM card they will become the owners of the same set of options and services as other subscribers . In fact, anonymous SIM cards are already registered to another person, most often to a fictitious organization, so many services are simply not available for use. possible to restore the SIM card , since it does not belong to you. Also, owners of anonymous phone numbers cannot use the promised payment service. One more point regarding linking a virtual bank card - this will not work.
On the Internet you can find several myths regarding SIM cards without documents, which can be easily dispelled:
- Most residents think that funds from such cards flow away like water in an unknown direction . All this is nonsense, because until recently, mobile operators received enormous profits from such subscribers, so it makes no sense for them to steal money from the client’s account.
- “Free” SIM cards contain a virus. This can only be believed by someone who doesn’t understand how cellular communications work at all. A virus is a malicious program that creates copies of itself and spreads to other devices, so it cannot get into a SIM card in any way, much less harm a cell phone.
- Once you bought a “left” SIM card, get ready to lose all your money on bank cards . Perhaps this is the most common “horror story” associated with such cards. However, no one understands how it is possible to steal money from a bank card from a person who bought a SIM card without documents.
How to check the region in which the SIM card was registered
Finding out who has a SIM card is not so easy today, because mobile operators cannot distribute passport and personal data of their clients. However, there are some services that can easily determine in which region the SIM card was issued:
- in any search engine you can specify a phone number, for example, if someone called you from an unfamiliar number, after which the system will automatically display information in which region the SIM card was purchased;
- you can use the widget from Yandex;
Today there are a large number of services for determining the place of registration of a number, however, here you should not leave any information about yourself, for example, passport data, since this information easily leaks to the “black” market.
In order to combat the spread of “gray” SIM cards, additions to the existing law were adopted. The procedure for selling cell numbers has been significantly tightened. These amendments came into force in 2021, so you can purchase a SIM card in a mobile phone store only upon presentation of an identification document, that is, a passport. If the operator discovers that a number has been sold without documents, then the mobile operator must immediately block such a mobile number. Therefore, now SIM cards on the “black” market are already issued on other people’s passports, or on fictitious organizations.
Limitations of unregistered SIM cards
SIM cards that were purchased without a passport and a contract have limitations. If a subscriber has lost his SIM card, he will not be able to restore his phone number. To do this, you need to contact your mobile operator and provide personal information.
Owners of SIM cards without registration cannot link a number to a bank card (). This is due to the fact that if there are problems with the number, the subscriber will have serious difficulties linking the new phone to a credit or debit card.
If the cellular operator finds out that the number is registered with “left” data, it can block the SIM card. This is due to the tightening of the Law “On Communications”, which was adopted in June 2018.
