If you have a main phone and a backup phone, can you pls judge my plan and share your system? I’d like to have a backup phone in case my main phone gets stolen or damaged, and for my second job which will require VPN, router, and location masking. I’m from the US.

Phone 1
US phone number for job that’s cool with DNing - transferred to Skype, Hushed, Tossable Digits, or Flexphone
Signed into job email
Signed into job Slack
Local SIM & Data for hotspot
Take with me on adventures for maps, pictures?
2FA Banks, Accounts - transfer number to
Stores passwords

Phone 2
Us phone number for job that needs VPN/router/location masking
WIFI only
No local sim
Stays at accommodation
Back up phone

Main questions are:
- Does my plan look good, am I missing any details?
- Should I use Skype, Hushed, Tossable Digits, or Flex Phone to house my US# for 2FA and texts/calls with friends/family?
- Or should I get a super cheap US phone plan and downgrade it in addition to that / instead of that?
- Which US phone plan should I get, if so? I’m on TMobile right now.
- How to get US phone number for phone for job that requires location masking etc without paying for US phone plan?

      Google Fi will stop services after a year if you don’t visit the US, Ive read. Also have seen that some have had services stopped after 2 months in Mexico. How would I run 2 sims on one phone?

    I Just have my normal 2fa US phone and phone number. Stays at my accommodation. Then I just use my global travel phone with local sims. Keeps it separate and everything gravy.
