[Magdalen] Tech/Phone Question

[Ann Markle]

Thanks, Chad.  I suppose I could have looked it up on my own.  But I also
wanted to hear that it would work, I suppose.  I don't want to spend even
$7 to find out that a new battery is pointless.  I just ordered one on
Amazon.  This phone is fine for a while longer, though I did love my newer
model for the short time I had it.  One of these days....
