Why do you even need a number on the smartphone? It can just work over wifi without SIM card. When you need an SMS to activate an app, you receive it on the dumbphone and type in the auth code on the "smart" one.

All UPI apps here(in India) register to bank in an automated way using Sim verification.It is baked to the app,you can't do the verification manually.
