Even worse, I'm migrating to an all-Voip solution because my carrier refuses to support VoWifi/VoLTE and it solves my coverage issues.

The only disadvantage is I'm forced to fall back all the way to SMS. No MMS even, and what about RCS, the new texting system that works through your data connection well there's no support for that aside from using Google Messages and the SIM that's in the phone!

Worst "open standard" ever

I'm very confused about your setup tbh. Can you get a data plan that doesn't come with a phone number for your phone? Is that what's going on?

I do believe I've heard that Google messages (and therefor RCS) doesn't support dual Sim, which is absolutely bullshit. It's currently the same as a closed standard with empty promises for being open.

Google Messages definitely supports dual SIM, I have a physical SIM and an eSIM in my device and you can choose which one it sends from on a message by message basis

Ahh, sweet, my bad. Not sure where I heard that.
