I use a dumb phone on a daily basis.
I do not like that giant square in my pocket so I see my company issue smartphone as a tablet of sorts.
The dumb phone has 2 SIMs, one for online 2FA or to receive confirmation of online purchases via SMS and the second number to get SMS confirmations or contacts from any services or purchases acquired inc the street from brick and mortar shops. Both SIMs redirect calls to my smartphone.
So when I’m at the office or at home with the smartphone either I get a call labeled internet or street to more or less warn me where the attempted contact is coming from. My SIM # is not shared with anyone but my family ever and I have rules to discard any attempted contacts if not from them.
It works flawlessly for about 8 years already.
