Replacing a Shattered iPhone Screen

The one pair of shoes I've been wearing while I travel (for the last three years!) now have a new lease on life.

That broken iPhone that Mala gave me last week is now spiffy and like-new. It even has a local SIM card inside, to-boot.

My local number--for however long I'm traveling in Viet Nam--is:
