So, my phone, Nexus 5X, is refusing to turn on. Seems like this is a known problem (this is a refurbished warranty replacement of the original that did the same thing). LG will repair it for free, but it's going to be 2 weeks to turn it around. We don't have any functional old cell phones in our house, we only get new ones when they've become completely unusable.
At any rate, I need something to use for 2 weeks, anyone have any suggestions for a solution I'd be able to get quickly, spend little and have it be a backup for the any future issues? I'd want to be able to access my texts and make and receive calls. That's all I'd need as a backup. We're on Verizon, because my friend works there, and with a bunch of lines for us, his family and his 50% discount, it's very cheap ($40 for the family).
Looks like I can get a flip phone from Verizon for $50. That could work.
