New Battery or New Phone - suggestions

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

My V120c's battery is starting to show signs of old age and not
holding a charge as long as it used to. The battery and phone are 19
months old. This is a FreeUp system which gets relatively little use
and has worked fine for this period of time.

A new battery costs about $35 according to Moto. I know that VZW (and
just about everyone else) no longer offers this phone - or style.

So, it is worth spending money on this phone or upgrading to a new
phone?

There's a lower capacity one available for $9.95.
