I have a bit of a complicated situation. A friend of mine used to have an iPhone but switched to an Android and forgot all her passwords since she was logged in automatically. She did a factory reset on the iPhone before she switched and now all her apps and important passwords are tied to that old phone number. Is there a way for her to reactivate her old iPhone just for a month, so she can receive password recovery texts and retrieve her Gmail account?

You don't necessarily need cellular service to use an iPhone, especially if she can rely on WiFi. But if she wants to get a password recovery code via SMS, she will need to reactivate her old number with the provider it was last associated with, regardless of what phone she's using.
In case she can't access her accounts at all, I'd recommend visiting iforgot.apple.com, which is a good place to start for Apple ID recovery.
I'm a bit puzzled. Your title mentions paying by month, but your details seem to focus more on recovering accounts. Are you asking if it's possible to finance an iPhone?
If that's the case, it really depends on where she bought it. If it was from Apple, there are financing options available, but it sounds like you're actually asking about getting temporary service for the old phone.
