Apparently you can't cry on a cell phone and get away with it! It still turns on, the screen works perfectly, sound works too. But it only lets me press one number then it assumes I want to use the speed dial. I can receive calls but I can't answer them.
I've had this phone for about 2 months and I don't have insurance. :-(
How long should I wait to see if it will dry out? Has anyone ever has their phone dry out and work properly? Does a hair dryer help at all?

Drop mine a lot of time in the swimming pool. Let it dry and It will for sure work again. 2-3 days on a sun spot or if you are in a hurry than go for a hair dryer (but watch hot not to heat it too much)

Depending on how long your phone was in water(?) for it should dry out in 2 to4 hours and work fine. A hair drier may speed up the process but be carefull not to overheat the pfone.

You might say this is crazy but take the back of the phone off and take the battery out and spray it with rubbing alcohol. The alcohol evaporates quickly and will take the moisture away from the phone. I reccomend doing this asap.

nicely, even if you do, do not attempt to coach it on. i can not say no count if or not it quite is going to artwork lower back, yet i've got heard that turning it on is what reasons each little thing to short and become non-functional. Rice is definitely a physically powerful concept. do not capability it on till it quite is as dry as could be. attempt to open up any battery cubicles etc. of the telephone so as which you will dry it as much as a threat.

It can take weeks. Take it apart as much as possible and place it in the flow of a desk fan for a few days. Steady moving cool air is best.

It may be too late, Salt in your tears is corrosive. If you had instantly taken it apart, & dried it, it may have worked.
If you can take it apart, you can see where the salt has taken over, try to get it off with a barely damp q-tip...it may be a goner though...

I dropped mine in mop water and when I took it to the shop they said water messes them up beyond repair so I had to get a new one.
