Lots of places have no WiFi.
I do have two smartphones. A very cheap one in my coat and posher cheap Nxtpaper 40 that never leaves the house. No contracts. Just €10 call credit when needed (the thieving phone companies expire it if not used up in a certain time).
In theory there is some data possible, but unlikely. WiFi is used at home and with friends. I've no payment methods on either phone as that is less secure than my physical credit card. My bank Debit card is virtual, so only works at home online (as the 2FA is to the phone that never leaves the house).
