If I told you the amount of mobile phones Chris and I have managed to go through in the past several years, you probably wouldn't believe me. Most of it is because Chris has to have the newest thing as soon as it hits the market (except for the iPhone....he's holding out till he can have it without having to go to AT&T).
When one of my phones has to be replaced, it's usually because of some sort of tragedy. Before the latest one, the last phone I lost was washed and dried after I left it in my back jean pocket....lovely!!!
Since I now have my new phone in hand, I can laugh about it all. I am going to try not to let history repeat itself....again! I will say, though, I got some crazy advice from a few friends that I just have to share. Desperate times call for desperate measures (or really good insurance!)....
If Your Mobile Phone is EVER Submerged in Water.....
Take it apart as much as you can. Wrap body of the phone in a towel and put the whole thing in a pillowcase. Place in the washing machine on the spin cycle (without water) for a few minutes (apparently this slings the water out). Blow hot air from the hair dryer in all visible holes.
- Matthew, my pedicurist (claims it has worked for 3
customers so far!) In my humble opinion, I think the
Salon should do a better job warning their customers
not to leave their phone in their lap during a pedicure!
Now THAT would be customer service!!!
Take it apart as much as you can. Bury in rice for several days. Remove and blow off all visible traces of rice and rice dust. Put everything back together.

was too chicken to try this one!!!
Anyone else have any brilliant advice???

I, too, had a phone die a water death a few weeks ago! Thankfully it was a phone that was already taped together with packing tape from a fall, so really it was time for a new phone! When, oh when will they invent the waterproof, impact proof, toddler slobber proof phone???
