..Buy a new phone?
or take it to the store and see if there's any type of warranty.

wow man that sucks. really all you can do is get a new phone or if it was a screw out antenna you can pull out what was left in the screw in part then see if you can get a new antenna, if not, you're kind of boned.

Just trash it and get a new phone.
If you start a new contract with Verizon or any other company, you can get some pretty decent phones for relatively cheap.

Wait... losing your antenna actually affected your service? I lost mine and nothing happened at all.
