I need a new phone

My phone has been dropped so many times that I cant believe it still works. I used to get a new phone every couple of months when I worked for my cell phone carrier so I was never that careful with them. I could just buy a new phone but the problem is that I was left on an employee rate plan when I left them and I hardly have to pay for the monthly service. I can remain on this rate plan for as long as I choose to do so, but if I upgrade to a better phone my plan is too old to support the technology in the new phones or so they say. So if I get a new phone I will lose my current plan and have to change to something much more expensive. there would be a difference of atleast 60 dollars and right now I just cant afford to have my billed raised at all. I guess I should start taking better care of my phones Because I am not looking foward to losing my plan and paying $60 extra for the same thing I have right now.
