Not necessarily. I kept my US phone and number, but I keep the data turned off and use it on wifi only. Most of the time I don’t even keep the phone charged, but I’m glad I kept it. It’s come in handy on many occasions when I’ve needed to log in to an account requiring 2-factor identification, all of which is linked to my US number.
For day-to-day texting and calling, I use my UK phone and data plan.
