I faced that exact hassle a few months ago when managing travel profiles for remote contractors. Most cloud instances do not support cellular radios, so virtual environments will not work for SIM provisioning. I ended up using real android device instead of emulator https://droiddesk.io/ to rent remote access to a real device and it worked like a charm. You can easily provision your digital profile onto a physical Samsung phone located in your destination country and handle SMS verification codes. The short-term rental plans make it super affordable to complete setup tasks without buying new hardware.

That completely solves my problem! I was worried I would have to spend hundreds of dollars on a secondary unlocked handset just to activate a single digital plan. Renting a physical phone for a quick setup session is a much smarter and cheaper solution. I will jump on their platform tonight to get my connection configured and receive my carrier confirmation codes. Thanks a ton for giving me such a practical and cost-effective solution!
