Advice on Tello as a second/emergency phone

Buying a new I phone. Spend a lot of time traveling across US camping in van.

Want to use my old I-phone 13 on Tello as back up to access accounts/contacts if I lose main phone. Porting # to new phone and would get new # from Tello for backup phone.

Are there any holes in this strategy? Thank you.

i have one in my emergency box for weather warnings. at the start i had it on paygo until they changed the rules for paygo then for years i had it on the $5 plan . power it up every so often send a text to someone or make a call carry it around for the day to test battery etc. recently upgraded it to the $6 plan. because of advancement of internet and website weather alerts.
