The last two or three phones I bought, the memory card slot doubles use 
as SIM card #2 holder, and that is way more important to me than an 
extra card ⁽¹⁾. I do not need it, and in the case I would, I would plug 
an external USB stick into an appropriate extender cable. I have done 
this in the past.

(1) And I did not find phones with three slots in the brands I looked at.
