How are folks using the Pinephone (sim swapping?)

In my case, I have a second SIM that I used to use as a "secondary number" on my old Redmi Note 3. After I bought the Pinephone, the Redmi Note 3 became my flight computer and the Pinephone now has that sim. It stays all the time at home, and most of the time switched off, though.
