Keeping a spare smartphone as backup

[neku]

Smartphones are used for payment and other applications but they can malfunction anytime. Do members keep one or more smartphones as a backup for emergencies, so that they can quickly replace the malfunctioning phone?

I keep one backup phone at home for exactly that reason. Modern phones do everything, which is great until something goes wrong. When your device refuses to charge or the screen gives up, you feel stuck. A small spare phone makes life easier because you can move your SIM, log in, and carry on without stress. It is not about luxury, it is about avoiding the trouble that comes with being suddenly disconnected

Yes, I have a backup phone just in case the one I am currently using malfunctions. Having a backup phone also helps during power interruptions.

Recently one phone failed so I quickly moved the sim to the spare phone I had. Now I have to purchase another spare phone for backup, since I do not have any more spare phones.

I really want to have a backup phone even as my phone is still working so that I won't ever be stranded if my phone ever breaks down.

I have just one smartphone at the moment, so I don't have anyone i keep for backup. Am hoping to get a new one in the future though.

I really think this is a practical tip for anyone that is working online. A backup device is necessary.
