Is there any reasonable/not a huge pain in the ass way of paying for your phone contract without it being in any way tied to your real identity?

I’ve gotten prepaid sims for things but obviously that’s not really a feasible method for your main life phone.

i’ve been using prepaid sims for over a decade and a half now and it works okay for me since i only use a voip number that forwards to my phones.

every major carrier i’ve used in the united states have required some sort of identifying information like a state issued id or credit card; maybe the smaller/re-sale carriers will let you use cash.
