TL;DR
Right after buying, download the operator's app and check the GB balance before leaving the shop — this way you avoid getting a used SIM with data already spent.

Check the GB count via the operator's app right at the point of purchase — this stops sellers from passing off a used SIM with data already used up.

Whichever carrier you pick, tell the seller upfront that you need internet immediately, and require them to activate the SIM and show the data balance before you pay.
