I've heard numerous stories of cell phones being dropped in water and surviving after ample time to dry out.
But does anyone know about any success stories of cell phones surviving a 30 minute-or-more swim in the back pocket of a swimsuit? Yeah, we're not talking a quick dip or anything here. We're talking a full game of Marco Polo, throwing my nephew and niece around, and starting a whirlpool.
It laid in front of a fan yesterday, on the bathroom heater overnight, and the next step is putting it in a bowl of white rice to absorb the moisture. My brother told me that tip and I wasn't quite sure I could believe him, but then I found a few other people on the web recommending the same thing, so I figured it had to be true.
So, it's still drying and I haven't tested it yet. Needless to say, if you're trying to call, I won't be getting your message for a little while.

How could you not believe your own brother?!?!
HAHA---mine went thru the washer for about 10 minutes. It did dry out and I used it for about another year before it stopped working---no idea if it was related to the wash or not!
So I tried today after giving almost 3 full days to dry out.
No luck.
Time to beg some friends for an old cell phone or find a cheap one somewhere.
Go with eBay...
im pretty sure i have one or two old verizon cellphones laying around if that helps you at all...
