	Put your phone in front of a heater or a hair dryer or somthing to dry it out it should work. I have not had very good luck with my phones either One phone I ran over with a groomer, ran over with a tractor, and swam with it in my pocket it still worked Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	I went wake boarding all day with my phone, dryed it out over night and it was perfectly fine. My dad once dropped his phone when he was shovelling grain into the auger. We had the pool call us a week later saying they had found a phone. We still use that phone too. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	^haha when i got my first phone, my friends and i were riding our bikes to the pool, i had mine in my swim suit pocket. When we got to the pool, my friend pushed me in, at the time i didn't remember i had my phone in my pocket. So i get out of the pool, go to the diving board and run off the end. And in mid-air, i go "My phone!" and grab my pocket as i plunge into the water. And when i get out the screen is white and then i take it apart to dry and it never turned on again...

	Here's a tip: If your cell phone gets wet, do NOT try to turn it on! Get a bowl of rice and let it sit in it for about a week! It will help dry it out. J.M. Paul 1999 Kawasaki 1100 ZXI Jet Ski 2000 Chaparral 240 signature 24' Boat 2004 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 4X4 Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	I was told just recently if your phone get wet, fill a ziplok bag full of rice and put your phone in there. The rice will draw the moisture out of the phone. I personally havent tried it because I am responsible and try to avoid it. I try to keep my keys in my pocket too. lol If you knew this guy, Jesus hates him> WORST LUCK EVER!!! But its a cheap fix too, a bag of rice is like 2.00 or you can go over to your bff's house su kumo' and he should have some. ZOOM!!! ZOOM!!! Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Another nod to the rice idea, works great. I keep a lot of crap I shouldn't, so I have a selection of those "do not eat" silica gel packets I keep in a ziploc for anything electronic that gets wet, ipods, phones, cameras, etc. A while in the bag and they're good to go.
