Cellular Apple Watch

My son has a cellular apple watch series 6 with its own number attached to my phone as a family watch. I don't want to give him a phone yet, but we have an old iPhone XS that we can attach his watch to. Can I attach his watch to the old iPhone and keep the cellular capability without activating the old iPhone?

When paired directly to an iPhone, the Apple What shares the iPhones number. If the XS is not activated, it does not have an iPhone number to share.
