I've been given a Google Pixel Fi phone. Now what? [telecom]

A kind neighbor has given me a used Google Pixel Fi phone, and I'd appreciate your help to make use of it without spending too much.

Please answer these questions for me:

  1. The phone is model G-2PW4100. Is this model able to work with 4G service? 2. Google offers a "Low Cost" plan with "Unlimited talk and text," which they say is great if I can use WiFi a lot, but the they quote on the first page turns into "-" when it's time to give them a credit card number. It turns out that they want to be paid by the Gigabyte for data. Can I limit data use? 3. Verizon is the only reliable cellular carrier in my area. Does Google use them? If not, which one? 4. Verizon has been offering a prepaid plan for /month. Can this phone be used with that? I don't need data. 5. If someone gave this phone to you, what would you do with it?

Thanks for your help.

Most versions of Android have a Setting for "Data warning and limit". In recent versions, go to Settings and then Search for "limit". On a handy instance of Android 12, I see a default of 2.0GB; but the default is Off, and I have never turned it On. The web administration page for my plan shows usage as of yesterday, and my plan sends me an email when I reach 75% of monthly allowance.
