Can I use my iphone 11 to make/receive phone calls when I take my iphone 14 in for repair

I can't be without a phone. I need to replace the cracked screen on my iphone 14.


I kept my old iphone 11,. thinking I could use it as a temporary replacement. Will that work?

iPhone 14 Plus, iOS 16

I'm going to answer my own question for anyone reading.

1) Get a second number installed on my own phone at <>provider. Get a new sim for old phone.

2) Use *72 for forward my calls to the new number.

3) Make an appt at genius bar in the morning.

4) Wait.

5) Thank staff for rapid repair.

6) Dial *73 to end call forwarding.

7) Disconnect second line.


This involved both provider and apple, it was tricky. As usual got correct info from Apple and multiple responses from phone service.
