take the battery out and put it in uncooked rice and pray. it might work again it might not but you want to get it dry quick and rice will draw it all out

You call your provider, set up an insurance plan for the phone, then sometime next week, submit a claim.

Good Luck!

A) Usually you have to insure the phone within the first 30 days from purchase.
B) FRAUD! If you don't buy the insurance right off the bat then you should be prepared to pay (literally) the consequences.

reggi, hopefully it will dry a bit more and regain more functionality, sometimes they do. When you aren't it using take the battery out, really give it a good chance to thoroughly dry.

thanks for all your help but its back workin now everything is fine:)

I did the samething......I took mine apart and set it on a towel and let it air dry...then took a blow dryer on low heat and got rid of any remaining moisture.


As for insurance...depends on who your company is...im with verizon and the insurance doesnt cover water damage....and they can tell cause there is a dot that turns a different color....i think its behind the battery. a couple of months after my water incident, I brought my phone in for another reason and because the dot was changed it was a no go.

I never said I didn't, I was simply pointing out that that was fraud. That is something I wouldn't and haven't done...out and out fraud is wrong. I don't have insurance on my phone and when the day comes that something happens to it (outside of the warranty) I will pony up and pay for a new one. It's a decision I made years and years ago and it will suck if something does happen but I will not lie about it or try to scam my way into a new phone at Verizon's, and therefore, every subscriber's expense.
