   I have a dumbphone with 2 sim slots. It's ok, does the job and nothing   
   more. It's a nokia 110 4g. The good thing is that since it has two sim   
   slots I can have both my work and private number on the same phone.   
      
   Since it is a dumbphone, there are no apps that can leak data between the   
   two. =)

   I buy this from a local european cloud provider. I am very happy with   
   their service. I have thought about hosting myself, but I cannot justify   
   the time.   
      
   I do self-host my web site, and 2 SaaS products though on rented servers.
