Your options are:

1. Buy a new phone at full retail price from Verizon.

2. Buy a used phone from a third party.

3. Buy a Certified Pre-Owned phone from Verizon. (Note that not all models are available.)

4. Go to a cell phone repair shop and see if they can fix it.

5. Try to fix it yourself.

6.  If the phone still works, learn to live with a cracked screen.  I've done it, and I've seen friends with some pretty shattered looking screens, but the phone still works.

If the phone isn't working, try to find one from a private party, or borrow one from a friend until you can upgrade or afford a new one.
