I think it’s a cheap backup phone; do you have any suggestions?

When I traveled frequently, I worried about losing or damaging my phone, especially with two-factor authentication (2FA) linked to my old SIM card. To avoid access issues, I started using a cheap backup phone that I kept with me. I also made sure to set up account recovery options, like secondary email addresses or backup codes, for situations where I couldn’t access my primary phone. This way, even if something happened to my main phone, I could still access my accounts and stay connected.
