A way to perhaps get your existing phone dried out and functional:


- remove the battery and SIM card (if your phone has one) from the phone

- put a decent amount of regular ol' white rice (dry, uncooked) in a aip lock bag

- put the phone and battery in the bag - make sure there's enough rice to pretty much cover everything

- zip the bag up and let it be for a day or two

- put the battery and SIM card back in the phone, fire it up, and see if it's functioning properly.


Crazy as it sounds, the above was suggested to me by a friend after I sent swimming with my phone. It worked like a charm! The rice absorbs the moisture. I know this method has worked for other people as well.

Good luck!
