I actually have a separate work phone too. Jealous that you get a stipend for it. Mine is just a older phone with no sim card. Mostly sits in my home office. Connect it via hotspot when I'm out and about during work hours or am oncall.

No reason I can't repurpose it as my travel phone when needed like you do. That'd be pretty easy.
