The problem with services like Airalo is that they almost never give you a local phone number. In many countries getting a phone number involves showing a physical id.

Problem? This seems like a huge win, the sooner we get rid of phone numbers the better.
How does one make outgoing calls without a voice-enabled number?
Airalo is data-only plan, so you have to either use another SIM card for making phone calls, or use VoIP/Skype/Viber/etc.
Just top up a VOIP service with $10 and never run out of credit because nobody makes regular phone calls in 2022?
