Reglo SIM cards

[El radge]

I had the scooter out today so went to get one, turned up at the checkout, no passport, no SIM I'll try again when we come back into France, Luxembourg tomorrow.

Suspect a few have done the same . I have , more than once

To be honest if I'd known how much worse my joints had got over the last few months I'd have considered selling the van or just doing the UK in future, just to much pain unless I am sat down so I'm almost totally tied to the van, even riding on the scooter is painful fairly quickly.

Did they not accept your UK photocard driving licence or did you not offer it? I've never taken my passport, because they need to record the address, which doesn't appear in a UK passport.

I just went in with no documentation Tom.

We're in Germany now, then Switzerland so no issue for now.

Don't they normally require passport as well ? Always have licence on me anyway . Buying sims in other places/countries certainly requires passport

I've never required my passport; they've always been more than happy with the photocard licence which is issued by an official body and contains all the required info.

I've only ever purchased Réglo Mobile SIMs in France and have always used my photocard licence. I also use it as proof of ID when paying by cheque in French supermarkets generally. Passport only ever produced at border control.

I was intending to put it I'm my Samsung phone or tablet and hotspot to it but the tablet doesn't seem to have the option, so phone only then

Ok . In my experience you normally have to produce your passport when buying a sim. Obviously not with Reglo .
By the way , if going to Spain , I would recommend the dodgy Russian shop(booth) in la jonquera .
Vodafone.sim that works everywhere

In my experience, the request is normally for a "pièce d'identité" rather than anything more specific, occasionally perhaps a "carte d'identité".
