SOMEONE Please Help I PAYED TOO MUCH FOR MY PHONE TO BE AN IPOD.

Plasma balls have a strong field associated with them. I'd venture to say that you've fried the radio Rx/Tx section of the board in your phone.

As per the hated Wikipedia, the high voltage radio frequency energy coupled to them from within the globe may cause a mild electric shock, even through a protective plastic casing. The radio frequency field produced by plasma lamps can interfere with the operation of touchpads used on laptop computers, digital audio players, cell phones, and other similar devices. Some types can radiate sufficient radio frequency interference (RFI) to interfere with cordless telephones and Wi-Fi devices several feet away.
