The "get an anonymous pre-paid sim card" section doesn't tell you what to do if you can't get one in your country.
Mexico already tried something like this in 2008 IIRC, and it was aborted because the database was leaked and sold for like 20-30 USD a copy. That database empowered fraudsters then, and I fear this new one, having recent biometric data, would be even worse if passed, as our government is an even less capable digital steward now. If this law gets enforced, an loophole like the one DigitalCourage uses would be closed quickly.
There will be some delay until it's implemented and apparently there are plans to contest it.

- Take the cost and go physically to such a country
- Use online services such as dtmf.io and pay with Monero (there are others but I didn't test them and some are "sketchy" to say the least)
But you could also just ask someone you trust in such a country to buy one for you (carefully) and mail it to you including a top-up voucher paid by cash.
Otherwise well just don't use services that require phone numbers for verification. No other way I'm afraid.
With mandatory (and otherwise widespread) masking policies right now, it's even easier than under normal circumstances.
And the godfather, depending on how local laws are written.
Theoretically possible, yes, but in practice, I think the only option is if you have the "right" connections with organized crime. I don't think you'd be able to solicit on the streets, even in the capital.
