Do you still have unlimited data? If you do have it. I would buy a new phone out right or use someone else's upgrade. Unlimited will get dropped if you upgrade. Even if you don't use much data. Keep it! Its like gold on Verizon.I guess you could get a battery to see if your issue is fixed. If it was me its time to move on. If you do your going to be on cloud 9 with your next phone due to how old that phone is. Your kind of making me feel like I'm spoiled as hell.lol. I had that phone back in the day and loved it. Thing was so heavy ,you could knock someone out with it.lol But I'm one of those people that gets a new phone every year. I have the G4 right now and love it. Htc M9 would be your cloud 9 phone. Plus you could wait to get home to change it. Good luck
