    Most plans tend to require use once every six months (i.e. send an sms or something), did you read the fine print?

    I’d assume in a dual-SIM the phone’s IMEI is the same?

      Dual-sim phones usually have one IMEI per slot, so multiple IMEIs in total.

      Did not see any requirement of the sort in the fine print, but even if there were, it’s fine as long as you pick the right provider. If I had to make the occasional call it’d be still worth it. There are also providers that will keep a sim active indefinitely as long as you “purchase” one month (as little as 5€) every 1/2 years (most importantly, they do not charge you into negative credit). So basically free to operate as well.

      Honestly I do it mostly to limit spam, if I did it only for privacy reasons I’d have more than two numbers but I fear one might start getting noticed by the autorities at that point :/ sms is inherently unsafe and not private.

      Every sim slot has its IMEI
