One thing I can think of is setting up a VM just to run BlueStacks or whatever android emulator is best these days (it’s been like 5 years since I’ve tried that out). Or do like I do with whatsapp and run a Firefox container specifically for groupme

Sadly dont think you can buy locally from a store but only through their website, they’ll deliever to the address that you put so maybe use someone else’s and just pick it up like a friend’s or family member’s. Think they also do esim but im not 100% but if they do that would be emailed so no waiting
