No. Buying a physical prepaid SIM card in Macau is now strictly regulated and requires ID registration at a shop. Truly Roaming travel eSIMs are data-only roaming plans that allow you to bypass this tedious registration process. You can buy online and connect instantly without handing over your passport details or waiting in queues at the ferry terminal.
