Greetings, I need MFA and a few other things for work. I'd like to swap to a dumb phone on my off times. I don't want to constantly swap out a SIM as it eventually damages the card itself.

What are my options? And is there a dumb phone you recommended?

I have a second SIM card for my phone number (for a tiny fee) ... I need to direct where SMS go, but it rings on both.

You could probably also setup call forwarding from your work phone to your personal dumb phone - there will likely be an extra per-call cost.
