just had the idea that any of the many API providers for SMS could be integrated, so no phone is necessary.
Like sipgate.de, twilio, ...
It's probably not a good idea to leave a phone connected to a charger permanently for people that only need a way to receive text messages from a number but don't want to carry the phone all the time. :D
Sipgate is good for that, I think, as the API is included in a regular phone service already at no additional cost. Sipgate is available in Germany and Austria, as far as I am aware.
I don't know any Java, but maybe somene else wants to have a look at that. :)
If you think this is not the right idea for this project, please just close.

For example here are the docs for the Sipgate API, which looks relatively simple: https://api.sipgate.com/v2/doc#/
