Hi, is it possible to have 2 phones that have 2 different numbers?

Let's say I have an iPhone, but I want an Android phone. Is it possible to carry 2 different phones with the same carrier (i.e. phone number), or will they have two different numbers that are in the same company let's say AT&T. Will I have to pay for extra fees (subscription to that phone company line thingy)? What if I don't want a phone number for the Android phone. Will that work? It will still be connected to the Internet (wifi, LTE extended network), but it won't have phone number bc it's used for other reasons. But if I did get a phone number for that one without changing my iPhone's number, will that work, too? What if I have 2 different numbers & paying the same company AT&T for both? Does that work, or does it have to be the same model of phone? I'm new to this and want to see how this works. I know this is a lot and so many scenarios. Please bear with me as it's my first time, but I've never had to pay for my own personal phone until I'm working. It's really on my mind for the future. Thanks in advance. Also give more scenarios, if I'm missing something. Can I pay in on the spot (full) for the WIFI thing on the phone AND the phone company AT&T or T-Mobile or something? I know it's diff for every single one of them but give specific examples, thanks!

In the age of WiFi there is no need for you to have a phone number if the people you want to talk with use things like WhatsApp or similar apps.

In they case, why would you buy a smartphone? Buy a tablet instead. They make them in different sizes. Otherwise you’re at the mercy of the “phone company”. Instead of an iPhone you can buy an iPad.

Yes you can have a physical SIM card and also a virtual SIM card. I do this so my personal and business numbers can be on the same phone.
