Two factor at multiple remote properties, no cell
I have two rural properties neither of which have cell service. I have Telus-supplied copper wire landlines at both. Telus Fiber is not available at either location. I have Xplore satellite telecommunication services at each location for Internet and email. I need a single phone number for both locations that I can use for two-factor authentication. Xplore has its own VoIP phones which allow voice-based 2FA codes but not SMS. I have a basic flip phone and I purchase a yearly prepaid plan called Text and Talk 100 from Telus. In a year, I've never used up all my allotted "free" voice and text. I top up for long distance to the tune of about $35/year. It would be nice to just use wifi calling from my cheap flip phone using my existing prepaid plan. After looking into it as a possible option I found that I would need to buy a newer phone that supports VoLTE and wifi calling and probably a plan that would make my prepaid plan look cheap. What are my options to get talk and text at the two rural locations?

Delayed Receipt of 2-factor Authentication Texts/Calls
My phone is extremely delayed when receiving 2-factor authentication texts, which has been happening since I set up/connected my new Pixel Watch. Prior to this, I'd receive them pretty much instantly, but now they take up to 10 minutes (at which point they are no longer valid). It's occurred with multiple websites: shopping, banking, insurance, and MyCRA. Other texts and calls come through no problem, as far as I can tell. My phone SIM and my watch's eSIM appear to have been assigned different phone numbers in my account, so I'm wondering if that is affecting it somehow?
