Many of your high school aged friends had a secondary backup phone with a separate cellphone plan they pay for? That’s wild!
I don’t think the average American high school student has two smart phones one of which is a secret from their major source of income (their parents).
No, why would they pay a cellphone plan for it? For most of them it was their or their siblings' previous phone, or their first phone they paid for themselves when they got a job, for others it's a cheap 60$ used phone they bought when their parents took theirs away at some point. That's like money for going out for lunch three times.
There's no use for a cellphone plan, we would just use wifi or hotspot from their main phone.
