Android Question

I have a Samsung Galaxy S, the first (S1?) and it has served me well. It was originally purchased from T Mobile. I have since changed service providers to SIMple Mobile by switching out the Sim card. That was well over a year ago, and the phone performed fine.
The problem I am having now is that when it is turned on, in the upper right hand corner, below the battery and time display, the word 'Searching' appears. To the left of the battery symbol is a circle with a line through it. When I attempt to make a phone call, send a text or go online, I receive an error message that no networks are available. I have been told (by one salesman at a mall kiosk selling used phones) that the antenna was no longer functioning. This made sense, but I have no way to verify this.
Is it probable that this may be the cause, and if so, is it possible to fix this? My phone is no longer under warranty, and was wondering how much it might cost more to fix. Thanks!
