https://invent.kde.org/network/kdeconnect-kde/-/commit/d3062cafd41460113911c13c40fa6d4b67dcbcf0 added multi-SIM reply in mid-2020

1.4.x was branched December 2019, so that build does not contain this feature.

I would strongly encourage you to upgrade. If your distro does not package a recent version, you could try building from source: https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect#Linux_Desktop

I caution that it will be an uphill battle. By picking an LTS distro (as you have apparently done, from the system information provided), you have made a trade: "I will be very stable but I will not have the latest features".

I don't know how the packages in Linux Mint work, but you could try the kubuntu Backports PPA. Rik Mills does a very nice job maintaining it with recent version of KDE software for various Ubuntu releases which may be compatible with your Mint version.
https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports. Note this will significantly pollute your LTS stability, as you will end up with lots of much newer packages (KDE Frameworks, likely Qt, etc.)
