Last time I needed a cell phone battery, admittedly several years ago, I Googled it and got a hit on Radio Shack, who did supply the necessary battery type. This was for an analog cell phone that was more than several years old at the time. I only once bought a replacement battery from Verizon Wireless, and it was obscenely expensive.
Why did I keep the phone for so long? It was a "lifeline" phone that I kept in the car for use if I broke down or other emergency. The fee was $12.00 per month -- but the first call cost $0.30 per minute. But I only made one or two calls per year on it.
