There's also a thing called dual sim. Which is standard in the Asian market and used to be common in Europe.

Wanted one of those so bad, but couldn't find ones with US bands support at the time

Still using dual SIM in Europe. While EU policies made it so that you can use a European number throughout Europe with basically no real added costs, country specific numbers are still required for a bunch of bureaucracy

Was also quite common in Brazil, dunno how new phones are handling it

Motorola and Xiaomi are still releasing Dual SIM phones over here, it works as expected.
