Sorry, but you have to go and get a new one.
the 'sim' should still be ok though.

The best thing is to go quickly to a professional technician to check it .
But if you want to do it by your self then open it and let the Mobile's board exposed to fresh air
then pass a hair dryer in front of the board ( but take care plz by putting a long distance between them we just need some hot air )
then after a while put everything in its place and try to turn the mobile on
if not turned on go to a technician

It's dead. You shouldn't get moisture near mobiles, even gripping one in your mouth can destroy it. We were advised to put drowned phones in the airing cupboard but it doesn't help.
Sell it on ebay with an explanation in the header. We sold a damaged one and a good one in the same week and got more money and more bids for the defunct one. We thought it was probably people who've cracked cases. Or claim on the insurance for a new one.

Been there done that. Take the battery out and let both parts dry out completely. You might even wanna use a can of air to speed the process. Good luck.

The same thing happened to me a week ago. I took out the battery, took it to bits and put the whole lot on the radiator for a few hours. Now it is as good as new. Good luck.

I have heard of phones coming back to life if you can open them and dry it with a hair dryer, but in my experience the phone drowns and you know what happens when you drown?

Don't try to turn it on. take out the battery quick. and open everything on it that you can, and let it dry for a couple days, use blow dryer if you have to. Then only put the battery in and try to turn it on if you are sure its dry inside. Hope it works, worked for me.

Leave it to dry out completely, near (but not on) a radiator. It might come back to life. But it's unlikely I'm afraid.

My daughter dropped hers in macaroni and cheese and another one in hot water. Sorry. She had to buy a new one each time.
