Real-Life Comparison and overall purpose: People IRL have phones and can purchase multiple SIM Cards to have different numbers. It's the same idea as one phone for business and one phone for personal things. This could be used for government officials, Criminals and usual citizens. Meeting someone for the first time and will just contact for business, selling/buying? Give them your business number. Meeting up with an old friend/Meeting someone knew who you want to hang out with? Give them your personal number.
Process: Buy a SIM card from a Pharmacy or Shops, Use it in your inventory and it will come up saying "Installing SIM Card" or something similar, After the process is complete go to settings and be able to swap in between SIM Cards
Features: Swap easily through phone, Maximum of 2-3 SIM Cards, when selecting to call someone prompt them which SIM Card they would like to call with. Would only receive notifications from the SIM Card currently active (When a player is calling/messaging a SIM Card which is not currently selected it would be prompted with the "Person Unavailable" Text until the user again selects that specific SIM Card, Ability to rename SIM Cards to be easier for interactions and when calling people it wouldn't ask to select multiple different random numbers it would come up with names of the SIM Cards itself.
Reasoning: Overall just think it'd be better for RP, May be unneeded but feel it would just be better than everyone being able to have your personal number and constantly ring you.
Notes: When joining the city individuals would always have a SIM Card already installed in their phone. This feature of SIM Cards may be unneeded but I personally believe it will support RP and interaction when it comes to phones instead of just blocking numbers or ignoring annoying people you don't want to talk to. Also allowing to keep business on the front and personal stuff in the back instead of all in one go
Q & A:
Q: What would happen when swapping to a brand new SIM Card?
A: Contacts would stay intact, Gallery would stay intact, and Tweedle accounts would stay intact although Phone Call Logs and Text Message History would be entirely different
Q: How would I call people on a different number
A: Two options for developers either call on the Active SIM Card or When calling have the choice to call on Number A or Number B
