This might sound weird, but worked for my brothers phone...take out the battery and sim card and put it in a container of rice for a few days.

My brother did exactly the same thing, after taking the battery and sim card out of the phone and leaving it all to dry for several days, the phone does still work however 1 key does not function correctly (this may have just been due to the fact that it was an oldish phone and this was the final straw if you get what i mean)
Good luck!

If you put it in while it was off then theres still a chance. Leave it in a really hot place like a closet where the boiler is for about 2 weeks then take it out of there and leave it in a normal room at room temperature then give it a try.
If you turn it on as soon as you take it outta the machine then it'll screw the phone up.
You might also wanna get a new battery as it mighta killed that

I really doubt that it will work, because I once forgot to take my mobile out of my pocket and put it in the washing machine, and it didn't work, so hard luck if it doesn't work, but I hope it does work for you.

Your mobile will look clean but i doubt that you'll be able to use it to make or receive calls again. My advise is don't turn it on, take out the battery and sim card and leave in a warm place for as long as possible, it will work again if you are lucky.

don't count on it. Have washed 2 in the last 6 months ( hubby's and youngest daughter). Neither worked when they came out. The wash has too much water and the soap does something to them.
Good luck.

It happened to me. I took it apart as much as I could and put it on a radiator to dry out for a few day. Mine did work after this but it was a bit crackly and a little difficult to hear. Good luck!

Possibly. Take the covers off and the battery out, then you can either put it and the battery on the radiator or use a hairdryer (usage of the hairdryer in interval's as in 5 minutes at a time in sweeping motions) leave both the the phone and battery for a day or two to dry out, then put it back together and see. i hope it works out for you!!

Nope. And there is an indicator sticker inside that turns pink or red when a phone gets wet, which cancels the warranty. Sorry -- you're out of luck.

Better go get you a new phone. My son has dropped 2 of my phones in the toilet and I have had to buy new ones. Once they are wet the don't work again...I even tried to blow dry it out,,but still could not get my contacts or anything to show..Sorry.
