I don’t think that’s really possible.

You can have whatsapp on a smartphone but put the sim inside a flip phone.

this is from my research:

T mobile has come up with such a concept, where you can use same number on flip and smart, via a specific app. Being that it uses a specific app, it could be it won't work with a kosher flip that has only certain apps. But anyway, even if you could do it, it's quite costly (they said about 80) cuz in essence you're like paying for 2 full priced lines, even though you're just using 1 line. Based on this, it's not so feasable. Otherwise it would've been ideal for me too.

Like another poster said, if you're using Whatsapp as your communication, that can work, as she described above. But that's only with whatsapp.

remove sim from smartphone & put it in flip phone - but all flip phones nowadays are really smartphones - unless you have it 'koshered'.
Alternatively, get a second line on flip phone, and forward all your calls (and maybe can do texts aswell) during certain times.
