I dropped my cell phone in the water (altell). It's a pink LG. I was at the pool and I sat my phone down. I didn't realize that the I actually sat my phone in a puddle of water. Yeah I know... I'm an idiot. so anyways I didn't know if my phone still worked or not so I tried calling people and it worked! So I wasn't sure if water got in it or not. My cuzin knew someone who got water in their phone before so she told me how to check if water got in it or not. We turned my phone off and took out the battery. Sure enough the sticker in my phone was pink. She said it was originally white but her friends sticker was blood red so she thinks my phone will last for a while longer. I'm not sure though. i don't have insurance on my phone so could i get a new phone (the same phone with the same plan?) my contract isn't up yet. i just got this phone about a month ago. how long should my phone last me for? and would i have to pay a cancelation fee or whatever? i want the same phone and the same plan

If the phone is still working, don't trade it in. There's no way that they'll give you a replacement if it is still working. You would have to pay for a new one. If it does stop working later, try to trade it in. Make up a story other than "I dropped it in water." Make up a creative lie, since they'll be more likely to give you a new one if its not your own fault. Just say it stopped working.

Dropping your phone in the toilet would not be a problem if you had an iPhone. For $500 or $600 each, it must be waterproof.
Now, you should check with your plan's customer service and they can help you with all your questions that you have here.

Chances are if it worked after the water, it will keep working. The sticker is to show if it had gotten wet. Most plans don't cover water damage so that is how they tell.

I would open up your cell phone and remove the battery.
Place your cell phone on a towel upside down. Place the battery on the towel. Inspect everything for dampest.
Reassemble and use.
Hopefully it works for a long time.

hope you have insurance to get a replacement.
It is now close to worthless. I used to work for VZ and that is one of the worst things to happen.
