I was pretty much devastated the other day when I put my laundry in the dryer and then heard clunking and I checked and it happened to be my cell phone. It had gone through the entire wash cycle and then a very partial dryer cycle. I put it right near the heater for an entire day and kept checking it. The water bubbles came to the surface of both of the screens and then they eventually completely dried out.
When I put the battery back in it actually sizzled quite loudly. Is there any hope of this working again?? I've heard stories of people who have dropped their phones in water and they worked after a few days, but I do understand this went through a wash cycle.
Right now I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world if I had to buy a new one, but it's really inconvenient to try to get everyone's numbers back that I had in my contact list. Is there a way to possibly get those from Cingular??
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks bunches!

Does your phone have a sim card? if it does then the sim card contains that information.You can use a blow dryer on the phine to see if that helps but you should have let it completey dry before you turned it back on.my phone dropped into a pond it worked but then quit my husband trned his air compressor on and used his blow gun and dried it out and it started working again i lost no numbers.

Sorry but you are now in the market for a new cell phone.
Just look at your cell phone bill and they will have the numbers there for you.

It stopped working then.The water can sometimes damage and leak out the battery.Get a VERIZON V325 camera phone.I have one.
