I thought we were removing the key signing stuff from the wiki page? It still seems to be there, so I'll remove that now while adding show-and-tells.

You wanted it off the agenda. Doesn't need to stop people from organising something on the side.
Guus
But, as theres there's little interest, it doesn't matter anyway.

Guus: I'm a bit surprised to hear you can still pick up sim cards here in Belgium. AFAIK, it's legally required to have an identity check (I don't know if passports are ok). I know some supermarkets got fined 2 years ago for still allowing it without identity card.
Guus
Remko: according to the article that I linked, identity checks are mandatory, but a password suffices.✎
Guus
apart from that: I know nothing. This was forwarded to me by a guy I know in Antwerp.

Then i climb back into my cave in silence

No need for silence, it's the cave that's important.
Remko
Guus: some quick googling seems to say that a passport should be ok.
Guus
Remko so in theory, it's possible. I wonder if any supermarket actually bothered to train people to do an ID-check. Might have been economically more viable to stop selling sims...

I wonder if I can buy them in the Netherlands, and bring them over.
Remko
Yeah. But there are plenty of mobile shops from the big providers, so i bet you can get a card there anyway.
Remko
Guus: one of the concerns was that you can still get the cards without checks in other countries anyway. Are the netherlands such a country?
Guus
Remko: from a quick google: yes.

Denmark as well

Guus: with a bit of luck, your data is cheaper with your dutch prepaid card in Belgium than it is with a prepaid one you get here.

Unsure, I never looked into prepaid cards. https://www.prepaidsimkaart.net/ lists some Dutch prices, but I'm not sure if they're competitive.
