Depending on what brand and model your cell phone is, it's entirely possible you can get a replacement one from Radio Shack. I know most nerds hate Radio Shack, but we really can get a lot of harder-to-find stuff like that if the associate is properly motivated. Let me know what brand and model and I can take a look tomorrow if we can order any parts for it, I'll pass on the relevant info to get the guys in Rockland to get one for you if you like.

I sent you an email to your gmail from work today, no idea if you got it or not.

I checked our parts system, we have replacement antennas for the V220 available for $9.99 (plus tax, $10.59 here, not sure what your rate is up yonder (6% in CT)), to be shipped from the warehouse to whatever address one desires, if you're interested. I can either pay for it and ship it out from here, or if you'd rather order it from the folks at the Rockland store, you can tell them that you want RSU item number 12430146, "Stubby antenna for V220". If they look at you confused, tell them it's the yellow key marked RSU :-P
