I currently carry a dual-sim phone to have two numbers, private and work each. I am not entirely happy with this setup however:
- Dual sim phones aren’t common and cost more when I have to upgrade.
- I need call recording for business, but android phones aren’t very clear when it comes to call recording support. I had to try and return several new devices.
- I would love to have additional temporary phone numbers for privacy (e.g. retails).
And here’s my situation:
- Google Voice is not available in my country. Plus, it’s Google.
- Prepaid SIM cards are cheap and easy to acquire where I live.
- I have a bunch of old spare android phones.
I was thinking, could I leave the SIM cards for private and work at home, inserted to phones/devices that are managed by a call-forwarding server, which transparently forward the calls to a third device I am actually carrying?
Self hosted Google Voice is what I would love to have.

Not everyone here uses the actual dual slot. Some are single sim model variants advertised as dual sim, or one of the slotz have their imei on a blacklist.
