    Other than avoiding those services as much as possible, I use a second phone number for “machine-communication”= whenever I’m not giving my phone# to a person.

    I’m in the EU, I found a provider in my country that offered a prepaid sim card (pay-per-use) with no expiry date, but never use the credit on it because it’s free to receive sms. I turn it on in my dual sim phone whenever I need it.

      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.
