Kinda. I have eSIM phone and was hoping to sign up for a temporary plan while spending 3 days in Singapore - NAH! "Please enter your national ID number or come to our office to use eSIM". Meanwhile SIM cards are being sold while on plane, 100GB for 12 euros...

Ok, I guess I can then easily sign up for this while back in Europe? Nope, every local website has no signs of english sign up form, many require ID card...

The hope is I can do it via my phone menu, but even then calling me is going to be a rip-off (0.5 euro per minute when people been video calling for free for over a decade...)
