Getting another number helps a lot in my opinion. If you're getting another sim in the same phone, I suppose it would be possible for whatever cell carrier is providing the service to be able to link your two sim cards to your identity. However, for other companies, I don't know of a way they could gather that your second sim phone number is linked to your first one. For instance, if you created two Discord accounts with your two phone numbers, you could theoretically be two completely different users that won't be linked together. I would personally go for a second number.
Best way to combat the issue in this example is to create zero Discord accounts & embrace open, encrypted communication options like XMPP & Mumble, etc.
Yir that makes sense. It helps to hear from others, because my brain is getting so confused by over thinking the "problem" thank you for the answer.
