Dear sugarhigh4life
This is a common problem and I have heard the craziest things on what to do with you phone. One of the weridest things I heard was to take the battery out and place it in the oven at 100 degrees for 10 mins. I thought that was nuts. Than I heard of the hairdryer myth. But it seems most people I have talked to have done a alcohol soak. I know sounds weird, your phone got wet now lets get it wet again. But it works, to do this dip your phone in 99% rubbing alcohol and let sit for 24 to 48 hours before turning it on again. The nice thing about 99% alcohol is that it evaporates really quickly. Hope this helps. Good Luck

Hope that it is time for an upgrade with your cell phone provider. Then you can pick out a new one. Otherwise I hope you have insurance on it.
Good Luck, LeLe

Take out the battery and let it dry for 24 hours and it might work - I had one that I was able to save that way - but other people I know have not been able to save it. Try it and see.

Try letting it air dry for a few days then try turning it on. If it doesn't come on it's done for.

go to wherever you got it and tell them your phone got wet, and then pick a new one. you will still have the same number

you must take it to your cellphone company. and ask if you can exchange it.
