just an Idea do you ever buy stuff that has bags of dessicant in the pack?

never throw it away, keep it in the airing cupboard or somewhere REALLY dry........excellent for situations such as this........it sucks the moisture out of what ever is damp!!

lol Welshy no! This is only bout 5 months offa the press x

Interestin that Ann if they don't replace it thats what we'll do methinks x

Trouble is I believe the contract dies with some phones. Reason I asked was OH buys samsung phones that have been 'washed' off ebay, fixes them and re-sells them, you would be surprised how many people do it. Loads of broken phones for sale on ebay.

Yes Mel but you'll get a better one off the insurance

I did

Sony Erikkson Ann one of them daft slider phones they cost a packet so we thought contract would be way to go now aint so sure daft bat that she is x

What make is it Mel?

behave Welshy its my daughters phone her pride n joy x

Thanx Col n all others givin sensible advice x

Take the battery & sim out, put it in a poly bag of rice & bung in the airing cupboard for a few days.

Even if it doesnt work...take it apart again and leave it.....I had a Samsung that took nearly a month before it started working again....nooo dont smash it up

Give it a go at drying Mel but if that don't work take my advice and smash it up

You'll enjoy the experience of launching the damn thing into the floor

I did. lol

Right from my days with one of the big players in the mobile industry:

Water damage will not be covered by any mobile phone insurance (in fact they use it as a get out from paying up).

Its worth taking the phone apart ie battery off, sim card out and leave all parts to dry out properly and I mean properly otherwise the contacts may rust.

Before re-assembling wipe ths sim card on a clean lint free cloth to get rid of any grease and finger marks and then re-assemble...then cross your fingers

What do you mean

I was being serious

Joy lol

Welshy ar you Jack Dee cos your jokes ar like his x

Thanx Stevie x

Hi Mel,
Take the back of the phone off, remove the battery & Sim card. Then either put the parts onto on a folded towel above a radiator (Dont put the parts directly on the rad) or in the airing cupboard for 24hrs.

If your lucky the phone when re-assembled will still work. The Sim card should be ok when fully dry.

If they don't insure for washing, throw it on the floor and tell them it fell out of your pocket

Very few phones survive a soaking

peg it on the line to dry

I added twice soz x

Its a contract Teresa but she has stuff stored on her sim ~ I know they cover for certain things but not sure bout washing x

Claim on your insurance. I assume you've got mobile phone insurance??????


If not...never mind, new pay as you go dont' cost too much these days.

Why dont you buy two...... then you and Welshy ..... can talk ........24/7....
