Praying without tefillin but not late

Question

In a case where one does not have access to tefillin during the proper zman of Shacharit, but will soon after, is it preferable to daven after the zman WITH tefillin, or daven during the proper zman but WITHOUT tefillin?

Answer 1

One who doesn't have access to tefillin should certainly pray at the correct time, rather than waiting for tefillin and missing the time. (See Mishnah Berurah 25:14)
