Need a temporary phone
My pixel 4xl has some power issues. stuck on 50%, and won't last but a few mins before shutting off. Warranty ran out in October. Insurance will cost $250 deductible, but google says send it to them and they'll fix it, seemingly for free. Thing is, I can't go without a phone. Can I buy an att prepaid or something to use temporarily? Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Yes you can buy a cheap prepaid. Swap your sim into the swap it back when your phone is fixed

@lizdance40 It's not broadly known, but it's there in the list of options for anyone checking for device warranty information:
