Some phones are not too bad to replace the screen. I have done a few for family myself. I haven't looked at that model in particular. Sometimes the screens are cheap, sometimes they aren't. If you take it in, be sure to first look how much a used one goes for on ebay (or something), might find how much one with a broken screen is worth too, that was a popular model so there should be some listed I'd think. Also, if it's high, might look if there's an independent person that does that in any towns around. Some family I couldn't get to that lives in town, I found someone "cheap" for them and it works great. Some screens are probably not cheap or glued on too well, so it won't always work.
If getting a new one doesn't happen. Flip phone you don't want, I like my Motorola Barrage though. Cousin had one and lost it in the pasture for a year, charged it and it still worked but wasn't cosmetically pretty after a year of all of the elements (just faded and the screws had a bit of rust). My town phone is a Moto G. Both on Pageplus. Tracfone, StraightTalk, Pageplus all use the same Verizon network for their CDMA phones. Pageplus lets you activate 3G phones without data plans (I pay $30 per YEAR for each phone). Often for new phones, you can get a cheaper smartphone on one of them. Verizon's direct prepaid had decent too. Moto G is water resistant, but storage room isn't expandable if you take a lot of picutres. I have this case, saves it from many drops or hits, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H9RMNUM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If I needed a Smartphone with some data and enough minutes for me, there is an LG Ultimate 2 bundle on ebay and QVC.com. Both sometimes go to $130, and include one year of service at that price, 1200 minutes for the whole year, 1200 texts, 1.2 GB data, plus of course a new phone.
Since I don't use many minutes and don't have data on my current smartphone, not looking at that though. Smartphones are very handy in town but I wouldn't use one on the ranch. The way it works now, I can stop in somewhere that has wifi and look up stuff if needed (or I could add data at any time).

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
