I forgot it was in the pocket of my jeans(It feel out) and into the wash it went. It was on when it went into the washer, and now it's off. I haven't tried to turn it on again yet. What should I do so it will work again? We don't wanna extend our contract cuz T-MOBILE SUX!!!

Take out the battery. Put the phone in the oven on 150 degrees for like 5 mins. No joke, it works!!!

Generally, a washed phone is toast, done, dead. Water is a cell phone's enemy, the moisture causes dissimilar metal deterioration.
Rarely, a technician might take the phone apart and scrub it with alcohol in an attempt to revive it.
You might buy an approved phone on Ebay, try for the same make and model with T-Mobile programming or SIM card.

A friend of mine went waist deep in a pool with his phone in his pocket, and he brought it back to life by taking the battery off and setting it on a dehumidifier for the weekend. Everything now works normal on the phone

there is no guarantee that the phone will work again- water can destroy electronics. your best bet is to remove the battery and sim card and blow dry it or let it dry out in a warm area, It will have to dry completely, then put your battery and card back in and give it a try.
If it went through the dryer it is likely toast.
Otherwise, I hope this orks for you.
