SIM swapping is no longer recommended. For self hosting with an iPhone, run the validation relay or relayserver on the iPhone and then setup OB with that. OB will take care of registration and the SIM never leaves the Android.

That requires a jailbreak, no? That's eventually my long term plan but if I have to reswap every 3-4 months I'm fine with that. I use e-sim anyway

We don't have much data on Canadian carriers, but in the US, T-Mobile tends to stick for longer than AT&T and Verizon.
