Ok I had my cellphone in my jean pocket, then I did a load of laundry including those same jeans. I don't know where my cellphone is and I was like " no!" so I opened the wash but the cellphone isn't in the pockets but I'm afraid that if I dig through the washing machine to find it it'll shock me. What do I do?

I would go ahead and start looking online for a new one. I'm sorry you've lost it! Just maybe it isn't in the washer- maybe it fell out on your way to the washer machine!
Good Luck!

Don't worry! If the cellphone was on and water got into the battery compartment the battery is now fully discharged. Even if it weren't, a cellphone battery is a pretty low-voltage, low-current device so you wouldn't feel it anyway.
If you want to try to save the phone, take the battery out and rinse the phone with pure water (your tap water may have too much salt in it. Dry the battery, and let the phone dry for a couple of days. Put the battery in and pray.

Yeah, i've got performed the pen one those days. It became into in with the white load (needless to say lol) and it ruined one shirt and stained yet another yet on the interior. especially good result I reckon. you would be questioning the way it relatively is not any longer especially by a white shirt? It stained the interior the pocket. fortunate heh? I even have had a "stick" and a "packet" flow for the period of the wash whilst i became into youthful and that they the two survived.

I don't believe it will shock you. I'd fish it out and take the back off and set it somewhere dry to dry out. I put mine through the wash and the dryer once and after letting it sit for a day it worked again.

The cell phone will not shock you due to inadequate battery charge and energy. Do not let any more water get in though. This will result in further damage of the cell phone.

First spin out all the water, then carefully look thru the cloths to find it. It is probable already completely damaged and the battery is done by now. NO SHOCK

I dont think it will. I took mine out of a bucket of puke (long story) and it didnt shock me. Also, the phone was in the bucket for hours.
My phone still works too!
Put it and the battery in a bucket of rice to try and dry it out.
It will either work or it wont, but it cant hurt to try to dry it.

Remove the battery and let it air dry for 24 hours. That much time being submerged probably isn't good, but electronics now-a-days are pretty tough when it comes to being submerged. You might get lucky. I've seen cell phones survive such tragedy before.

Search everywhere apart from the washing machine. If it's not there... well... you won;t have to look in the washing machine and unfortunately you will have lost it.
I hope it is not an expensive one.

can your phone shock you, never heard of that one. I've dropped water on my cell phone in the past, but never got a shock from it. ring it from the house phone or another cell phone and follow the ring tone. if it was in the washing machine then you would have heard it banging around it while it was spinning.
