We need the ability to switch phones more easily than a SIM swap. Getting a paper clip or equivalent out is too fiddly, and the cards are too easy to drop or lose. If we can get to a place where your phone number is an account that your phone is logged into, then your choice of phone can become more like a fashion accessory for the day, and be selected on the basis of events, rather than needing to be all things for all occasions.

From a practical perspective, if you have multiple devices with a cellular data plan you could do this with third party voip services. But you are paying for multiple data plans. Of course on iOS devices, you have to have at least one phone as the central device with a voice plan but then someone calls your phone, your iPad and your watch will ring. But you still have to have multiple data plans. Ignoring the cost, my watch ($10/month), phone ($35/month), and iPad ($20/month) all unlimited plans serve the purpose. My watch when I don’t want to carry my phone or take it out of my pocket, my phone for the normal use case, and the iPad when I want a larger screen or do lighter productivity by just pairing my BT keyboard and mouse.
