I have 2nd hand pixel 8a with grapheneos and i havent putted sim card in it since i have it, in my country i have to have registered sim card, iam afraid of IMEI be linked with sim card and once i put it in im f**ked, the reason i need to put card is to verify bank which need sim card being in device.

I did some research but became dumb from too much information

Edit: also i want to be private because of my feature, idk if i wont live in country where propaganda is normal

      In Europe that would not be permanently stored but is would be for a while indeed. A few years after the subscription’s validity at least.

    Keep in mind that a lot of countries have introduced ID requirements on stuff like phones due to people like terrorists and drug traffickers buying them as burners.
